SEATING
Seating is arranged in two saloons, one on each side of the centre vestibule. Each
saloon is provided with an offset gangway 1 ft. 5 ins. wide at seat level but
increasing to 1 ft. 9 ins. above this level, due to a reduction in the width of the
seat back.
The seats are of the fixed type and there are four,
two-passenger seats on one side of the gangway, and four, three-passenger seats on
the other. The seats in each saloon face forwards towards the ends of the car. Two
additional seats, each accommodating three passengers, are situated in the corner
of the car at the side of the driving position. Upholstery is of uncut moquette
with Vynide panels on Dunlopillo bases.

toughened plate glass surmounted by a light alloy framed sliding glass ventilator.
The whole unit being glazed directly into the body framing by means of Claytonrite
Self Sealing Weatherstrip.
The end windows consist of a small central one flanked
by two larger ones, whilst those a the corner are curved to conform to the body
contours. All these end windows being of 1/4" laminated safety glass and glazed
directly into the body framing in a similar manner to the side windows.
VENTILATION
Ventilation is by means of four extraction type units mounted longitudinally on the
roof of the car.
DOORS AND VESTIBULE
The doors are situated centrally on each side of the car and are of the sliding
type. Control of the doors is electro-pneumatic and push buttons ("open"
and "close") are provided at each of the driver's control positions.
Separate switches control right and left hand doors. Momentary pressure only of the
buttons is required to energise the electro-pneumatic valves for door opening; a set
of relay contacts maintaining the circuit until release by the "close"
button.
