| X6080 PN.{Mr Northey}1/WT14.8.31. S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Hew. Starter Motor Switch off GNS-5. Referring to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Hew2/AD7.8.31, the report in respect of the battery of this car does not indicate that there had been trouble at any time or that the battery tended to become discharged. In any case the amount of leak which could have conceivably taken place through faulty Bakerlite moulding would be extremely small. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
