Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West, Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. West, I have yours of the 19th, and note that you are sending an order for a 6BGD11-SC battery, which battery is already in hand at the Works. Replying to your previous letter, this would be about 30/- less than the 2 RRN11's but we should be sorry to see it standardised in place of the latter. If you were considering anything of that sort, the battery ought to be one size larger than the 6BGD11. There are no moulds in existence for such a battery but they could be made. Yours faithfully, GRMinchin Metal insert in cover | ||
