UNIVERSAL TYPE BATTERY X6137 With reference to Ey/7/N12.1.32, we have arranged with Ey. that when we visit the Chloride Electrical Storage Co. to see the tests carried out on the new Exide P.2. universal type interchangeable battery, we shall discuss with them also the question of a similar type of battery for the 20/25 HP. ans also whether the existing 20/25 batteries for which moulds have already been made for "U" series, could be modified using similar positive and negative elements as will be used in the universal type of battery. Messrs. Peto & Radford are alsomaking up a battery for us similarly for test, in which they will be able to give us the same life as we are at present getting with our present standard battery.
