Messrs.Peto & Radford Accumulator Co.Ltd., 12, Heddon Street, Regent Street, London, W.1. Dear Sirs, Your favour of the 15th inst. to hand. We note that you are not now handling dynamos or lighting sets. In regard to the question of accumulators, as you say, we have placed an order with you for two sample L.D.11 accumulators. We have, however, to-day requested our Order Office to cancel the order for one of these, and to state that we would like to have, when available, an exactly similar battery made up with ebonite containers instead of celluloid. We understand you are making such a battery, but that these are not at the moment available. We shall, however, like to have one of these as soon as ever possible. Yours faithfully, | ||
