Heat and the Scuttle Dash.

One, Captain Theo. Masin, the originator of the scuttle-dash “torpedo” body, claims to have discovered how to successfully ventilate the front seats of cars fitted with bodies of this type. I do not know whether the disadvantage of the torpedo body has been commented on in New Zealand as yet; if not, I am offering a piece of news of much import. Personally I may say that in the recent hot

this he found that the space within the dash became as warm as usual. It was apparent that the “back draft” from over the screen and dash was passing forward “under” the front seat and into the foot space. Thus we have dedicated to us a valuable discovery. There should be no difficulty in altering any car that overheats under the dash in the summer months, making provision at the same time for an adjustable flap which could be closed in winter.
