Dear Sirs, We greatly regret that your letter of the 21st December EFC2/T211218 has been so long unanswered. This has been due to illness and absence of staff. We are not now handling dynamos or lighting and starting sets. We are concentrating solely on the manufacture of accumulators and have greatly enlarged our works for this purpose. We are most anxious for you to test our car batteries and have in fact 2 sample ones on order for you now which will be delivered shortly. Yours faithfully, THE NEW PETO & RADFORD ACCUMULATOR CO. LTD. G.R.N. Minchin MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
