F.facer. 17/1/14. Please have sent to Wilson at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, two Edison cells, to replace two, which are leaking on Car 2301. Also write to Wilson, and tell him to fix two strips of wood under the batteries, so as to raise them off the bottom of the box a little way. The leakage of the cells, is probably due to Electrolitical action, which is made possible by the cells standing in the liquid, which collects in the bottom of the box. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
