I have asked the Tudor Company to see you and Mr. Bailey so that you can give them the whole particulars which they will require to make us a few trial batteries. These people are used to making large cells, and they are, I believe, the best people in the country at their work, and I should have every confidence that what they supplied was technically correct. I should be glad if you would write out the specification of the weight, the ampere-hours, the charging and discharging maximum rates, and the dimensions which you recommend the battery should occupy, taking the Willard as a standard, favouring, but not demanding non-flam celluloid if strong enough for the purpose, and separate cells, if there is much gain in insulation, R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
