| 6021 Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} from Lr {Mr Ellor} /Wst. Lr {Mr Ellor} /Wst.16/AP.14.6.37 Battery Boxes. We consider that the present lead coating of our battery boxes is a very expensive item and we are investigating an alternative process which will reduce the cost of this item. We should like to know if you can recommend a cheaper method of depositing lead on the inside of our battery boxes. For instance, is it possible for this to be done by a metallisation process?
