X 3398 COPY OF LETTER RECEIVED FROM:- PETO & RADFORD, 50 GROSVENOR GARDENS, LONDON, S.W.1. M/C.2110. EFC2/T. 21st. October, 1921. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. Dear Sirs, X 444 x 3398 re small size batteries. We thank you for your letter of the 19th inst. We have gone into this again and by arranging the cells differently, as per sketch below, we can just squeeze them into 13 5/8" x 7 1/4", though it makes the wood for the crate thinner than we would like to see it. These refer to the Bull Dog type which has all the various improvements that you would like to see incorporated. We can deliver 2 of these batteries in a very few days and the price of them would be £3.10.0 each! Awaiting your instructions on the matter, Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD, (sgd) G.R.N.MinchiN [Sketch of a rectangular battery case with dimensions 13 5/8" by 7 1/4"] | ||
