Bailey - Chief Engineer} X6137 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.10/ADL5.1.32. UNIVERSAL TYPE BATTERY. X6136. With reference to By7/N12.1.32, we have arranged with By, that when we visit the Choride Electrical Storage Co. to see the tests carried out on the new Exide P.2. universal type interchangeable battery, we shall discuss with them also the question of a similar type of battery for the 20/25 HP. and also whether the existing batteries for which moulds have already been made for "U" series, could be modified using similar positive and negative elements as will be used in the universal type of battery. Messrs. Peto & Radford are also making up a battery for us similarly for test, in which they will be able to give us the same life as we are at present getting with out present standard battery.
