| X 7535 P Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. EPOS/AD31.10.29. X 7535P P & R 40/50 HP. BATTERIES. Will you please order from Messrs. P & R.{Sir Henry Royce} three dozen antimonial lead terminal washers similar to twenty already sent to us, but thicker (3/16") if possible as we think 3/16" thickness is better. There is comfortable room for them. Will you please say that we are now definitely of the opinion that such washers are an improvement and we would like to have them on the standard P & R RR.N11. batteries supplied i.e. in place of present lead coated brass washers. We shall be writing them shortly in more detail concerning the points dealt with in their M/3 of the 26th inst. EFC. | ||
