| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} X4617E EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 3/T20.4.25. X.4617. STANDARDISED 40/50 BATTERY. When 98-NK is being got ready for France, we want to put on this chassis an up-to-date standard Exide battery 6 RR5/1/2 at present in our lab, in place of the Oldham battery at present thereon. Would you kindly arrange for this change to be effected at a time convenient to you, there being no urgency so far as we are concerned. We want this battery to do exactly similar work to the corresponding up-to-date standard P & R battery which you have already sent out to France on 93-NK. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
