| X2538 P. EFC3/T. 9th March, 1927 Messrs. Peto & Radford, 50, Grosvenor Gardens, LONDON, S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. C.R.N Minchin. Dear Sirs, A fault has occurred on one of our 6-volt battery units of the BTH/11 type. The lid{A. J. Lidsey} studs have pulled out of the Dagenite, and we have had to replace this with one of the pair not on a car. We do not consider that the bolts have been screwed down more than reasonably tightly. Presumably you would like us to return this battery to you for correction, or possibly to return a pair of them so that the method of fixing the studs in may be improved. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. Chief Inspector We acknowledge receipt of Mr. Minchin's letter Your ref. M/5. of the 9th inst.
