-2- service and less trouble than any other battery and we have proved this to the General Motors Co. It would seem that the Rolls-Royce people would be eager to obtain such a battery but they seem to pass over to other batteries, probably of home manufacture, which is natural. As a matter of fact if they only knew it they would save considerable time and money by quick adoption of the Rolls-Royce Multiple. You cannot do anything however and neither can we except wait until they have concluded their test - but you will find that our plates will function longer and be in better shape than any other known plate after the Rolls-Royce test; and then probably could render a long service in any car. Yours very truly. (Signed) Jasper Bayne. | ||
