| c. MX {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} /McM. X 4617E. EXIDE BATTERY TERMINAL LUGS. Referring to MX {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} /McM7/T3.9.29, which has been handed to me for attention, we have not ourselves known a similar case of the terminal stud not being properly retained in the lug, and that being so we were unaware of the change now pointed out. We agree that the modified fastening of terminal stud in the lug is not as good as the old, and we are taking the matter up with the Exide Co. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
