Hanbury - Head Complaints} West Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sir, As promised we are sending you herewith a copy of our catalogue of accumulators for civil aircraft. All these types have been specially designed for civil aircraft with very much thicker plates than are used in the R.A.F., so as to give very much longer life. You will notice that we have got out a range in moulded composition containers, which is quite new and gets over any risk of fire, such as there was with the old celluloid types. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. C.Pritchett Encl: | ||
