YOUR REFERENCE ___________ OUR REFERENCE JW/5. 18th July, 1928. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Fowler Clarke Esq., c/o Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Dear Sir, Re Stationary Battery. Referring to our Mr. Preston's conversation with you yesterday in regard to the fitting of the above with ebonite and wood separators, we beg to refer to your order No.78370 which was despatched on the 23rd ulto. and included wood dowels and sheets and perforated ebonite sheets for use as suggested. We understand the wood sheets have not been used and beg to suggest that they have been overlooked by your erector. If on having a search made you are unable to find them or they are in an unfit condition to use we shall be pleased to supply replacements on hearing from you. The perforated ebonite sheets should be fitted against the positive plates. We understand from Mr. Preston you require a further sample set of ebonite and wood separators and have put these in hand for despatch to you as soon as ready. Always at your service. We are, Yours faithfully, For PRITCHETT & GOLD and E.P.S. CO. LTD. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Smith | ||
