HUDSON OWNER’S MANUAL

    When driving at high speeds in extremely COLD weather more satisfactory heating
may be obtained with the ventilator PARTLY closed. At lower speeds, such as in city
driving, it is best to open the ventilator fully and regulate the heat by means of the water
valve.  This  will  bring  in  the  maximum  volume  of  air  and  assist  in  keeping  windows
from fogging.  Under most ordinary driving conditions the flow of air from the cowl
ventilator will be ample  to supply all the heat required. However, at very low speeds,
when stopped, or when driving with a tail wind, it will be necessary to operate the heater
fan to supplement the natural flow. This is controlled by the switch knob on the front of
the  heater.  This  switch  has  two  operating  positions,  providing  fast  and  slow  fan
operation. The fan must also be used when it is necessary to defrost the windshield.
A shutter controlled by a knob is provided on the left side of the Hudson Weather-
Master to prevent too much heat being thrown on the driver's feet. Moving this knob
downward closes the shutter.
