| 4 To EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. " " BN. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} ORIGINAL R6/D/28/4/20. 29 APR 1920 X.3619. X.607 RE BATTERY FOR INSIDE FRAME POSITION With reference to EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 7/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. R | ||
