Re: Clipper defroster/footwarmer vs underseat heater

I may be wrong, but...

I was under the impression that the "Defrost" switch only operated the unit under the instrument panel and that the defrost function was selected by moving a lever on the housing to direct the heated air up to the windshield. The "Heater" switch only operated the underseat unit. At least this is how my Clipper's equipment was operated.

Given that we know there was a "Cool" switch; did Packard not fit their AC equipped cars with an underseat unit? Or operate both units with a single switch?

I would think one could operate the unit under the panel and the one under the seat with one switch and regulate defroster with the lever. This would leave a space for the "Cool" switch.
