Kindly note the above Battery as delivered by the Makers' is too wide and will not go into the Battery Box. Will RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} kindly instruct for the corners of the Batteries to be recessed and the Metal Corner Plates let in flush with the sides of the Box. This will reduce the width of the Batteries by .100 and will enable them to be used. We are writing to the Battery Makers' pointing out this error. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} ABA | ||
