| To EFC. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. " " WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} " " DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} " " BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL R10/G24/6/21. X.4283 RE C.A.V. WILLARD BATTERIES. (EFC3/T21/6/21) We will adopt the standard C.A.V.-Willard in their standard form and let them stand on their merit. Certainly their argument is good, but in the past the convenience of separate cells has been great. Several times we have cured defective cells here within an hour.out R.{Sir Henry Royce} FC JUN 28 1921 RECEIVED. | ||
