| To WH. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to EFC. ORIGINAL. 19th August, 1918. E3/C19818. X.3035 RE HYDROMETER FOR MEASURING SPECIFIC GRAVITIES OF PETROL AND ACCUMULATOR ELECTROLYTE. Would you kindly send to Mr. Royce, in accordance with his wishes, a hydrometer for measuring the specific gravity of petrol, and also for measuring the same characteristic of battery acid. I understand Mr. Royce would like one instrument to do the two jobs, but if you cannot obtain this we must have one for the petrol and a separate one for the acid. RECEIVED D 21 AUG 1918 | ||
