Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, With reference to our correspondence re sample Accumulator, we shall be glad to know whether the celluloid one has now arrived and whether you have yet had time to examine it and let us have any comments and criticisms on it. If you are taking discharge tests, these thick plates will want a good deal of getting into condition and the battery should be charged and discharged several times, after which it should discharge at 200 to 300 amperes for a considerable period. Yours faithfully, [Signature: M Clarke] Exptl Dept THE NEW PETO & RADFORD ACCUMULATOR CO. LTD. [Signature: GRNMinchin] MANAGING DIRECTOR | ||
