Herewith we send print of N. sch. 3213. - Battery and Suspension.

We wish to move the brake cables further in to make room for the new shock dampers, and so suggest that a battery arranged with cells in line should be used, this being appreciably narrower than the present arrangement, as well as electrically better. There is no difficulty about getting a battery so arranged.
