PRITCHETT T.W. PRITCHETT. YOUR REF. OUR REF. M/C.203 20th March, 1924. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, In reply to yours of the 19th inst. EFC1/T. we will send you the G.H.T.11.Plate Battery in due course for testing. With regard to the 250 ampere hour battery of 8 cells, we note you suggest that Mr. Minchin discusses this with you on his next visit. Mr. Minchin is not very conversant with this particular type of battery and if there are technical points you wish to discuss he must bring Mr.Preston with him at his next visit. If however, you could put the points to us in writing we could probably get them answered for you. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin | ||
