Batteries

You will recollect it was suggested that in due course the Bentley Type Batteries, i.e.

Chloride...... 6.XHR.9-IML
Peto & Radford 6.BGD.9-SC

might be used on the 20/25 HP. Chassis also, in place of the present standard:

Chloride ...... 6.XSM.7-IL
Peto & Radford 6.TBS.7A

on the score of (a) Economy in price, i.e. 11/6d per Battery, and (b) Reduction of Stocks.

I do not know how far matters have progressed in this direction, but we shall be buying further 20/25 HP. Batteries shortly. Would you kindly advise.

ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer}
