E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Fowler-Clark Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Fowler-Clark, We have now been able to complete our various tests on some new ideas on grid design for your batteries, and I am wondering whether you would be able to come and see us about them. We have various things which we could show you best at these works. I would suggest that perhaps a suitable time would be during the Motor Show, as I understand that you always come up for this. Perhaps you would care to fix your own date. Yours sincerely, C.Pritchett | ||
