| ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. X.4218 EFC1/LG8.2.24. X.4218 - 'FORS' BATTERY. (From Messrs. Calender) A further experiment has been done on this battery and shows this type of element construction to be entirely unsuitable for the chassis job. Also it has happened that one of the cells has failed by becoming dead short circuited under ordinary test conditions. We therefore do not consider that we have any further interest in this battery and would like you to say whether the battery shall be returned as we certainly ought not to pay for it. EFC. | ||
