SHIPPING OFFICE Y/S 41182. ----------------------- We have received through the Clyde Auto Co., 1 faulty 12 volt Exide Battery ex. the above car. Our inspector's examination revealed that all the plates are badly buckled and broken, also 2 cell cases are broken. According to our records this battery has been in use since May 1920 and although no ebonite separators are fitted we are doubtful whether the Chloride Co., will renovate free of charge. This question will have to be left in abeyance until the inspection of the Chloride Co's., representative who we understand will visit these Works to-morrow. R.R.LTD EP{G.
