Hallam - Head Repairs} For the attention of Experimental Dept. SUBJECT 30th October, 1936. [Handwritten: holis] [Handwritten: Ru/500] Dear Sirs, We regret we have not previously answered your letter of 20th inst., due to pressure of work consequent upon the Motor Show. We now have pleasure in advising you, however, that we are marketing the Harrison "Twinflow" Car Heater, some detail of which is attached. This Heater is made in America, at the present time, but is extremely efficient and is finding a ready market. Its capacity is between 10,000 and 11,000-BTU, and its weight 9 3/4-lbs. It is connected to the engine cooling system, and is in the form of a miniature radiator, having behind it an electric motor fitted with a 5 7/8" fan. Its current consumption on 12-volts is approximately 2.5-amps. We should be very happy to send you one of these Heaters for your inspection and test, if you so desire it, or to give you any further information you would like to have. We are not, at the present time, marketing the defrosters or air conditioning units. Yours faithfully, G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} KEITH DREW SALES MANAGER | ||
