Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 29th July asking for information in connection with the storing of batteries in a dry condition for the duration of the war. We do not think that we can do better than give you a copy of the instructions which have been jointly issued to the trade by the various companies and we trust that this will give you all the information you require. In any case we do not consider it necessary to dismantle the battery and dry off the plates separately. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. F.S. Chapman. | ||
