| 6021. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /RC. {R. Childs} 8/KC. 29th July, 1942. Joseph Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, Birmingham. 19. For the attention of Mr. B.G. Crupper. Dear Sirs, We have a number of cars which are being put out of service and desire to store the batteries in a dry condition for the duration of the war. We know of a few ways of doing this, but would like to have your advice on the best method of treatment, without going to the extent of stripping the battery down and drying off the plates separately. Will you kindly advise. Yours faithfully, for Rolls-Royce Limited. | ||
