REPORT ON 19-EX. PHANTOM CHASSIS
WITH SPORTS BODY. (9000 MILES)

BATTERY IN FRAME. LOP. F.77455. N.S.2224.

The anchorage of the battery remained O.K. It was not possible to discern any deterioration. The tapered packings do not remain tight. Each time battery was examined these were loose. It is impossible to extract the batteries from the case on this car- the bodywork not giving sufficient room. The connections and wires are in good condition.
