| Contd. -2- Bm8/DB {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 10.1.20. the reason indicated above, I have already stated before that in my opinion our orders for accumulators should be of so reasonably important a description as to justify the battery manufacturer producing a Grid having shape and dimensions specially suitable for us. If the matter is taken up strongly with them I should be glad to undertake this, if necessary, as I have a special acquaintance with these people. In the absence of Grids being specially made to suit us, it may entail putting up with cells of less capacity owing merely to the unsuitability of their shape. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
