As regards the three 12-volt. batteries returned to the Chloride Co. from Test Department, we have informed the Chloride Co. that we are not prepared to expend thereon the sums they have quoted for repairs and have asked them to return the batteries to us when next they are delivering batteries to us for production. Up to the present we have not received the Chloride Co's report on the 12-volt. batteries ex chassis 61-LG and 170-LG.
