Oy2 - G 231020 Oct. 23, 1920 Mr. Claude Johnson - 2 in respect of charging current, and that the cheaper cars which we are sending over - the Hupmobile, Dodge and Buick - are fully capable of taking care of their batteries under any sort of traffic condition. We should like to hear from Mr. Bailey when Derby can send us generators which will obviate the difficulties experienced with the present Lucas. Very truly yours, ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, Inc.
