-8- Contd. I think it is gradually being appreciated by owners and drivers that the life of a battery is a very brief one, and my impression in consequence is that owners turn more readily to the battery makers for repairs and renewals than to us, realizing possibly that all we shall do is to obtain for them a report on the battery from the makers." It will be interesting to hear your comments on these reports from which you will see that it is certainly not the general impression from our outside men that too much charge is being given to the batteries.
