DERBY.

Dear Mr. West,

Thank you for yours of the 28th instant, with the photographs of the batteries on the Phantom III Nairobi car. It will be interesting to send copies of these to the Press showing what a good battery can do.

I read that the car had no water put in it from start to finish, which was a remarkable achievement. Can the same be said of the battery? From the look of it, it looks as if the vents have never been out and that the battery was untouched.

I expect to be writing you next week about the special plugs you gave me to test in my 4 1/4 Bentley.

Yours sincerely,

G R N Minchin

Q Not too good I think.
