G.R.N. MINCHIN M.A. TELEPHONE REGENT 2576 TELEGRAMS "CONCENTRATION REG. LONDON" REF. N/C.35 3rd May, 1919. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Fowler-Clarke. With reference to the 9 plate battery, we enclose as promised, a curve showing the 4th discharge. We think the 5th. should be slightly better. We have now decided on the details of the new sample which we are to submit, including the cell to cell connections. We are pushing ahead with this and will send it to you for your criticism in a condition that it will give 60 ampere hours. We expect this will be in about 2/3 week's time. Yours faithfully, THE NEW PETO & RADFORD ACCUMULATOR Co. Ltd. GRN Minchin | ||
