| X4617E COPY OF LETTER FROM:- THE CHLORIDE ELECTRICAL STORAGE CO.LTD., CLIFTON JUNCTION Nr. MANCHESTER. ECM/EH. 26th January, 1926. J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} Whitehead Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Whitehead, In our talk in your office to-day, Mr. Fowler Clark was reasonably somewhat sceptical of the points made regarding the beneficial effect of wood separators on the negative plates. I recall his expression that he had understood that the wood sheets were treated to remove all wood acids, leaving only a fabric. I am therefore sending you a copy of leaflet 4029 - "Choosing a Starter Battery", and have marked two paragraphs which corroborate my statements. Will you please shew this leaflet to Mr. Clark, assuring him that I am only sending it as a matter of interest to you both. With kind regards, Yours very truly, (sgd) E.C. McKinnon. Enclosure 24. | ||
