| Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. Continuation Sheet. 13.1.26. road where things are liable to some neglect here and there then we think it advisable on our part to point out these matters to you. However we think your suggestion is very good that we should supply a standard accumulator provided with these separators the alternate cells being varied in assembly, and are putting same in hand right away. We might point out that you will probably find some variation in action of the cells by reason of turning the flat surface side of the separator toward the face of the positive plate. This will tend to prevent free absorption of the acid into the plates, with the consequent impairing its electrical efficiency. This point, of course, would occur more in high discharge conditions than otherwise. Thanking you for your very interesting letter. We are Yours faithfully, PETO AND RADFORD. (Sgd) Wm. Peto. | ||
