| To Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. 6122 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.6/AP.8.7.37 Replying to your Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/DH.{D. Henderson - Showroom}8/CP.7.7.37 which Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has handed to me to reply, we have not tried the Gold Seal Electrolyte and really have no immediate intention of doing so as we have been informed that it is just one of the usual dopes one sees advertised so much in the Press. These dopes incorporate a de-sulphating agent which seriously harm the battery in other ways. If, however, you can give us some authentic proof that this new Electrolyte is the 'goods' we will carry out some tests on the same. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. | ||
