Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. West. When Mr. Minchin was at Derby last week he arranged with Mr. West to send along some celluloid discs for putting in the vents of batteries which you have on test in your Laboratory. We regret, however, that these celluloid discs are now obsolete, and we have no stock. We are therefore sending you two dozen new vents, for which we do not propose to make any charge. With regard to the 6 volt standardised battery for the 20/25 H.P. car, we are proceeding with the matter and we hope to be able to let you have details as to performance in about two weeks' time. We shall then also be able to submit samples if you so desire. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. CG Pritchett | ||
