By/(PP) [text has been struck through] E.6/HP.28.9.33. re Batteries. -------- Thank you for your reminder - ROY.{Sir Henry Royce}5/MG.27.9.33 re 20/25 HP. batteries. We are counting on changing over to the Bentley type of battery at the same time as we adopt vibrator controlled dynamo. We are of the opinion that the thinner plate battery should not be used on our cars except in conjunction with a system which is not subjected to overcharging. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
