Rolled angle flange. (2) P & R.{Sir Henry Royce} battery. The cantilever suspension of the battery has given no trouble. The battery has remained firm up to this mileage. Loss of water from the battery using half charge, is rather on the heavy side, an average of .125 gill of water has been needed to top up the battery every 1000 miles. | ||
