Dear Fowler Clark, Thanks for yours of the 2nd inst. with report enclosed re two piece battery and I shall be interested to hear what transpires from this. Certainly the average owner or chauffeur will not go through all this procedure every week and it ought to be made as easy as possible for him. I believe I am waiting to hear from you further about some gravity float cells being returned with faulty terminal stems, but I believe that Mr. Salisbury has written to you with regard to the acid gravity in these, which was another point you were raising. Yours sincerely, G.R.N. Minchin | ||
