| CONTINUATION No. 3 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. 15th November, 1917. Batteries which are fitted are not always of very large capacity, and consequently the number of hours running is at times rather limited, and under these conditions we prefer to supply a more economical Coil than we might otherwise do, were the system fitted with a small charging Generator. We believe that you will, therefore, appreciate the various reasons why we have not despatched you a Coil, and we await your further remarks on this subject with interest. We are, Yours faithfully, W. O. {Mr Oldham} Kennington Consulting Engineer, REMY ELECTRIC CO. | ||
