| EFC. Works. X6016. PN.{Mr Northey}2/PH.22.12.30. copy Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} X.6016 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car No.58-GN with half-charge battery scheme. Since you were in London in connection with this matter, the battery on this car has been gradually becoming more and more discharged under conditions of town usage, until now it is not capable of starting up the engine in a warmed garage. I have, therefore, instructed that this battery be replaced by a fresh one in good condition whilst the former is separately charged; also the field resistance is being short circuited in order that the dynamo may cut in as early as possible.
