| PETO & RADFORD. CONTINUATION H.E. West, Esq., 3rd March, 1936. 24th mentioning an Exide battery and suggesting that there were better facilities for Exide batteries in Birmingham. They also suggested charging the existing battery by means of a suitable trickle charger pluged in at nights. Mr. Breeden has several cars and I told him I thought this was a very good suggestion and he ought to install one. I do not think very highly of the other suggestion and I do not think it can make very much difference. Perhaps a bit hard on us when if it had not been for our efforts, Derby would never have had the order for this car at all! Yours sincerely, G.R. Minchin | ||
