RE BATTERY FOR INSIDE FRAME POSITION

With reference to EFC7/T20/4/20, I quite agree that until we have proved that the smaller battery is capable of standing the work, we had better not fit it.

Apparently there is considerable risk about the present ones, and we do not think it is altogether a question of the smaller cell so much as a case of an improvement in the cells themselves.

You should certainly keep this matter going.
