Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 4/T9.7.24. X.4414E - EXIDE BATTERY EX CHASSIS GA.72 AND 56 S.3. -HEYWOOD- Further to our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 3/T3.7.24, we do not, as verbally explained to you, consider there would be anything further to gain by putting this battery on an experimental car, as suggested in BY12/H9.5.24. and to this I think you agree. Upon this being confirmed the battery can be sent to EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and used as a duty battery on his test cars. Therefore, would EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} kindly note that this battery can be had if sent for by the Transport Dept. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
