[PRCo] Re: Heaters

[Boris Cefer]

The reason is frequent low speed acceleration (on resistors) and braking
with city cars (they were not running?) in sharp contrast with long sections
without any resistance acceleration or braking on interurban lines. And a
car running at a high speed in an open countryside will require higher
output of heaters than a car on a city line.
