| X.3035 To BP. from EFC. c. to O.O. EFC1/T29.3.20. X.3035 - RE BATTERY ACID. We have recently received four carboys of battery acid of density 1250. The order for these was placed before we altered the instructions by which acid of density 1350 should be used and we were not able to stop delivery of these in time. We therefore have a quantity of this acid on our hands. We are, further, expecting three carboys of 1350 acid. We shall occasionally require acid of this weaker density and we shall use this up in the course of time. As, however, the carboys take up considerable room, could you kindly arrange for one of these carboys to be made over to me and sent up to my house, as I am at the moment requiring a carboy of acid of this density and have not so far placed an order elsewhere. If this can be arranged I will give the necessary information. EFC. | ||
