M/5. 27th February 1929. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We have yours of the 26th inst., EFC.1/LG, re cracked Dagenite cells. As you say, in all the many thousands you have had, these are the first we have heard of and we think they are probably due to the excessive swelling of the plates as the battery nears the end of its life, but we are sending your letter to our Works for attention. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. GRN Minchin | ||
