| ALKLUML STORAGE BATTERIES LTD. CONTINUATION SHEET No. 2. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., DERBY. these batteries, and we should very much appreciate to obtain from you the capacity which you standardise upon to meet your present requirements, as well as the inside dimensions of any battery compartment in which the battery is to be fitted. We should then be in a position to submit full detailed particulars, together with any other information you may require regarding this type of battery. We should be pleased if you would bear in mind that this is not a battery to be compared with the old Alkaline type, which suffer from high internal resistance, and require such a high charging current that the battery cannot be maintained in a healthy state of charge without having boosts or being trickle charged every night. Trusting we may be favoured with the information which we require and assuring you of our keenest attention at all times. Yours faithfully, ALKLUML STORAGE BATTERIES LTD.
