Hi Howard,

Thanks for your reply.

I traveled to Phoenix several times, where I couldn't touch and open the metal car door handle. In talking to a mechanic in the 1980s, he said that they had "dry heat" so it didn't bother him.

Baloney.

He did say that cars shipped to Phoenix didn't have thermostats installed. I had never heard that before.

I grew up in the sweat-ing-ly worst city of Houston in the 1950s.

Have I sent you a sidebar from my book, "How hot was it? A Houstonian's viewpoint from the mid-1950s."? It leads into my automotive AC fascination.

If not I will send it to you in a PM. Let me know...

See ya,
