CLOSES WINDSCREENS.
i Everybody is fond of fresh air, but nobody likes draughts. A surprising amount of draught can penetrate into the car through a badly closed windscreen; as very few windscreens are opened during the winter it adds greatly to comfort if the screen is fastened firmly. Added convenience can be obtained by taking up the floor mats and lining the bottom of the car with felt. This increases the softness of the floor, and if the operation is done with care it will prevent draughts frqm coming through cracks in the floor boards and the slots through which the pedal levers work, and it will also prevent water from a thoroughly wet road being shot into the interior.
It sometimes happens that cars fitted with sliding windows are draughty in cold weather. It is obvious that the draught comes between the two panes of glass; this can be stopped by pieces of rubber draught-beading such as is used for doors and windows in old houses. The beading should be “ packed ” between the panes of glass. It will not fall out unless the gap is unusually wide.
