If agreeable to you we should like to send down our Engineer who took the tests on the battery at Ashtead to see you if you cannot obtain the results to your satisfaction. Would it be convenient to you if he came down next Tuesday or Wednesday. We will defer further remarks until we hear from you about his visit, which we trust you will be able to arrange.
