On the Peto & Radford batteries, the chassis number for which the battery is supplied is stamped on the battery. It would greatly facilitate our work of finally testing, and enable us to make sure that the battery supplied for the chassis is actually fitted, if the Exide people could also have the chassis number stamped on the top of the battery, so that this could be seen without having to lift the batteries out of the chassis. The Peto & Radford people stamp the number on the rim of the battery holding box. EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /Thn. | ||
