| [Handwritten top left]: KB/Woxl [Handwritten top center]: rb. {R. Bowen} 021. To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Struck through]: Copy to Nor-NevHV [Struck through]: Mr.Ha/Wst.HL/PB. Thin Plate Batteries. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 4/E27.4.36 Referring to Ha/Wst.1/JH.22.4.36 and E.3/HP.25.4.36 I note what is said and also that, taking all the circumstances into consideration, you agree that we should go ahead and use the thin plate batteries on P.III. I assume, therefore, that this is now all clear. With regard to the 25/30 and Bentley I note you think that it is inadvisable to change until we have had more experience. I will make a note, therefore, to raise the point in 6 months' time. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
