| To EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} C. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 3398 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T3. 1. 21. X. 664 - BATTERIES FOR TEST CARS. X 3717. X 3398. This is to confirm that your men have fetched away this morning from our shop a type H.D.E. 13 Peto and Radford battery with a view to fitting this to a school car for trial. Regarding the Ni-Fe Alkaline battery, on inspection I find it will be necessary for a lid {A. J. Lidsey} to be made for this first and this matter I have put in hand with the Pattern Makers. As soon as this Battery is quite ready we will again inform you and shall be glad if you will then accept this for trial on your body car. EFC. {E.
