| R.R. 285A (100 T) (S.H. 159. 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 ORIGINAL. TO EFC. & PN.{Mr Northey} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. to CJ. BJ. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 3398 P. & R.{Sir Henry Royce} BATTERY. It is understood between us, including Mr. Day that we have no objection whatever to the P.A.R. battery, in fact we favour it, but we do not think it is wise to start with a battery of increased capacity, but rather let us save some percentage of the weight and make it of the same capacity as we are at present using. I have pointed out from time to time that I am sure it is a question of increased reliability of the battery, combined with a dynamo which cuts in sufficiently low, and an easy means for charging at the garage.
