| To D {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} /BP. from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} X607 [handwritten] EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T9.12.22. X.607 - FAULTY EXIDE BATTERY - CHASSIS 20-TW. Answering your D {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} /BP/HF {H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector} 14/B8.12.22. there is hardly enough information to enable me to redress [handwritten above: reverse] my previous decision on this battery. What does it mean, for instance, when it says that the Chloride Cos. Brighton Agents condemn the battery ? Does it mean that the Chloride Co. themselves have accepted some responsibility for this, in which case I feel that the other half should perhaps be paid by the Chloride Company themselves. My examination of the battery taken together with the information given to me with regard to its history did not, as previously decided, [handwritten above: and] leave me to consider that we were involved for the whole expense of reconditioning.
