March 9th. '14. x.560 x.50 Dear Sir, I beg to report that the Edison cells on chassis 2301 have not been giving satisfaction whatever lately and have now failed. The cells have been repaired several times but keep breaking out in different places. Mr Royce suggests having sent out a set of C.A.V. batteries complete with box, for fitting in place of present one, hoping to receive them at your earliest. Yours faithfully, J.R.Waldron. X50 | ||
