Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of yours of the 18th, reference EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T, and thank you for your further report. We have now received the report from our Works and enclosed is a copy of what they say. We should be glad to have your approval of these various points. The results that you have obtained show that we have now got our plates to such a point that they practically shed no sediment, and if we can overcome the difficulties of short circuits developing, which we think the various suggestions we make will do, we should get some astonishing life results in the future. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin Enclosure. Copy report. | ||
