Dear Sirs, We understand that several times the point has been raised from various quarters about using burnt cell to cell connections instead of the nuts and straps on the new type 40/50 H.P. car batteries. We think that in every way it would be an improvement to bring the battery in this respect into line with the 20 H.P. and could you let us know how the matter stands and what prospect there is of getting such a change agreed to. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin | ||
