-2- EFC1/AM 7.2.30 contd. ventilation at all was provided and with less space between the top of the battery and the underside of the lid{A. J. Lidsey} than at present, very little trouble or none was experienced from corrosion. Improvements in the design of the cell cover and terminal glands are always under consideration, in fact we have now experimentally an improved form of cell lid{A. J. Lidsey} with rubber terminal gland in addition to the vaseline gland, and this is likely shortly to become standard. It will be understood that we think the corrosion complained of was the temporary result of one modification fundamentally in the nature of an improvement, shewing up another fault which required rectification.
