| To CK.{Mr Clark} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} (struck through) ORIGINAL R1/G15/3/20. 5. 16 MAR 1920 X.604 RE CHLORIDE ACCUMULATORS. X.979. X.664 It is difficult for me to judge as to whether a thick plate is required. We must leave this to your testing the result, and the Accumulator Company's judgment in the matter. So far we at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town have been pleased with the experience of the chloride cells on cars. I have also been very pleased with the Tudor cells which have been used at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, but these are of the stationary type, and have shewn a marked supriority over the portable type in re-taining their charge. X.995. I have received the further notes with reference to paragraph of the instruction book. I think you have done well to collect this information and hope that the suitable part of it will be embodied in the instruction book, and much of the present deleted, so as to make it as short and concise as possible. R.{Sir Henry Royce} The paste in the Chloride cells does not seem very secure, and I am surprised to see that both the positive and the negative plate is of the pasted form. I shall be glad to know if this is also the practice of the Tudor people, and whether the paste in the Tudor cells is less liable to fall out. | ||
