Dear Fowler Clark, I was looking through the Rolls Royce instruction books the other day and I see that in the description we give you of the battery there is no illustration of the battery. As it is hidden away in a box and the owner might not ever see the original thing for two or three years, I do not think it would be a bad idea to have an illustration. I think we suggested originally that it should go in somewhere on the front page but I think the idea was turned down. I see, however, that the Dunlop people in their booklet and the Klaxon Horn people have illustrations so I cannot see that there should be any real objection and I should be glad to hear your ideas on the subject. As we have the necessary blocks and it would be quite easy to insert the illustration in the next re-print. Yours sincerely, G.R.N. Minchin | ||
