"Commander Briggs tells me that in a composite battery which he had on his experimental car in France there were two of our cells and these failed in about 16,000 miles. He said we should probably be hearing from you in due course on the matter and I shall be interested to because this seems a very short distance for cells to have run and I cannot quite understand it." | ||
