YOUR REFERENCE: ......... Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, Derby. 3rd November, 1936. For attention of Mr. H.E. West. Dear Sirs, When our Mr. Dean visited your offices some time since and was interviewed by Mr. West, the question of suitable hold-down for batteries in "Bentley" cars was discussed. As the supply of batteries for "Bentley" cars has now arisen, Mr. Dean has studied the question of a suitable hold-down very thoroughly, and under separate cover we are sending you two suggested alternative devices which are self-explanatory. If these are studied by your designers, one or other of the ideas may commend itself. Yours faithfully, THE CHLORIDE ELECTRICAL STORAGE COMPANY, LTD. E C McKinnon Chief Engineer.
