ECS/LP{Mr Lappin}/GEN. 7th June, 1929. EFC Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, Re: P. & R.{Sir Henry Royce} BDH.11. Battery. We regret to note from your letter of the 6th June, that the 6-volt unit which we recently repaired for you, has developed a leak. We can assure you that far from a patched up job being made, we went to some trouble in reducing the new container to the dimensions of the old one. We are now making a special test of another case, and if you will be good enough to return the battery to us, we shall be pleased to reassemble and return to you with all speed. Always at your service, Yours faithfully, for PETO & RADFORD. | ||
