| X 2065 EFCl/T 18th March, 1926. Messrs. Peto & Radford, 50, Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. Minchin. Dear Sirs, Two of our large FA.11 P & G cells have got four badly buckled positive plates, and this is causing a partial short in one cell preventing it from charging up properly. One supposes that you have maintenance men who go round looking at these batteries - would it be as well for one of your men to come and look at this battery, as other cells are going in a similar way ? Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
