| X6053. Ey. from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 6/AD22.1.31. X.6043. 20/25 SHEET METAL BATTERY BOX X.6053. We should be pleased to know from you what is now the exact position regarding the provision of a sheet metal battery box for the 20/25 chassis which we have from time to time advocated. The special battery in one piece 6-compartment moulded cell case obtained for this purpose is still in the hands of the D.O. As this is in a dry state a week should be allowed for us to prepare this battery for experimental test in conjunction with the new sheet metal battery box about which we are now enquiring. It will be remembered that it was originally intended for this combination to be tested on chassis 18-GIV but time did not permit of its being included in that test. EFC. {E.
