Will you please order for use on experimental chassis the following standard batteries. 1 Phantom III Exide type 6XOMR13-1MR. 1 Wraith Exide type 6LHR13-RL. These batteries are for cars 39.EX and 24.G.VI both of which have at present obsolete small capacity type batteries. In the case of 24.G.VI we have a starting failure which appears to be largly due to the small type battery. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
