3rd. December, 1935.

Your Ref:- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.10/MA.
For the attention of E.E.West, Esq:

Dear Sirs,

We very much appreciate your enquiry of the 29th. ultimo, with reference to a new design of accumulator.

We might mention that this accumulator is still in its initial stages, and no printed matter at the present time exists. We could make claims of higher efficiency, greater capacity per lb. of plate and a longer life, but we would much rather prefer to make up one of your own batteries, or one of the cells, and submit it to you for your tests and approval, feeling certain that you would find far greater advantages in our accumulator than in the orthodox type, despite the fact that ours does not depart from the lead acid principle.

To help us could you please send either a new box, lid{A. J. Lidsey} and terminals, or an old complete accumulator which we might replate? This work would take us a matter of a week or so after receipt of the box, and we hope to be in commercial production of most types by the middle of February, which will give you a reasonable time in which to examine our work.

With many thanks for your interest,

We are,

Yours faithfully,

for and on behalf of :-
EVERETT'S HOLDINGS LIMITED.

John W. Wilson
Managing Director.

P.S. Details of capacity &
your specification would
greatly assist us. JWW
