Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.1/MA.26.3.35. EXIDE TYPE 636M BATTERY. We recently obtained from Messrs.Chloride Electrical Storage Co., three of the above type batteries. One of these has now failed due to an internal short circuit in one of the cells. We are sending this battery into the stores for return to the makers for repair and we consider that in view of the short time we have had this battery in use it should be replaced free of charge.
