| x 6054. 5.4.31 J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Dodd. P&R + Exide B.U.C. Battery (225) The battery on 18.EX. is made up of 3 cells by Exide, and 3 cells by P&R.{Sir Henry Royce} All three celluloid tops in the vent plugs of the P&R worked loose allowing the acid to spray over the top of the battery. These pieces of celluloid are badly fitted in the vent plugs. Mr Minchin has agreed to rectify this on all future batteries. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.J. 5-6-31. | ||
