| x4617 To EY. from EFC. c. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} EFC2/T30.11.23. X.4617. RE 40/50 and 20 H.P. BATTERIES. X.4414. Answering your Ey8/P28.11.23, presumably it will also be necessary for Mr. Minchin, Mr. McKinnon and ourselves to jointly arrange for the standardisation of the 20 H.P. battery on the lines of the Peto & Radford battery at present being delivered with recent modifications plus the addition of ebonite separators. We feel that the sooner we can arrive at the complete specification of the two standardised batteries, the better. It will so much simplify the question of batteries submitted for test from other sources, as we shall be able to give other makers a definite specification to which they must make a battery before there could be any hope of getting our custom.
