| Ry. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} WST 16107 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS9/P.16.1.35. With further reference to ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS7/P.27.12.34. We have now received a communication from The Chloride Electrical Co. (copy attached) and you will note they agree we have done the right thing in suggesting the standardisation of the Bentley Type Battery for 20/25-HP cars - this being contradictory to the Peto & Radford letter. It will be necessary to order batteries for 'H2' Series in 6/8 weeks - probably earlier if lid{A. J. Lidsey} dies will be necessary, i.e., initial deliveries will be required mid May, based on present programme. Mr. Minchin, of Peto & Radford, will be here on Monday next. Please advise if there are any points you would like to discuss with him. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
