Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letter of the 16th inst.,
contents of which we have duly noted.

In regard to the last paragraph; you mention
that you do not appear to have received a Sample battery
from us since the 5th June last - this would evidently
be the Sample to which we refer, same having been made
in accordance with your Specification handed to the writer
when he was at your Works, and we are enclosing herewith
copy of our letter of the same date advising it.

The point of the matter is that when your Mr. Furner
visited us recently he referred to faults in our first type of
Battery submitted to you which were discussed around the Table
in Mr. Barrington's Office, and the Sample sent to you on the
5th June last was inspired by those criticisms.

We should be glad, therefore, to have your opinion
on this later Sample which was fitted with a celluloid carrier
to enable it to be carried from place to place quite easily.

Yours faithfully,
JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED.
(ELECTRICAL DEPT.)

C B Brooks
MANAGER & CHIEF ENGINEER.
