| X7535P BY/HEBS/M.19.8.27. PHANTOM CHASSIS. BATTERY IN FRAME SEC:7290. RE 'P. & R' BATTERY NO: F.77016.(EXPL:ONLY). Will you kindly write to Messrs.'P.& R' regarding the above pointing out that the Battery which they have supplied is oversize in width and will not go into the Steel Box in the Chassis Frame. The dimension given on the drawing is 6.064, whereas the actual Battery measures 6.250 over the corner plates. We are endeavouring to correct this by letting in the Metal Corner Plates flush with sides of Battery which we hope will reduce the width sufficiently to enable the Battery to be used. We are pointing this out to prevent a repetition of this error on the part of the Battery Makers'. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} | ||
