Edwards}3/B.27.1.38. WRAITH 6 SETS : BATTERIES. Will you please order from the Exide Co., six batteries to drawing DW.559. Three of these are urgently required and they should be delivered fully charged but dry. We are not yet in a position to give you the Maker's reference number, but full details of the internals of the battery have been communicated to them. We have ordered the 100 sets of material for this section to LOP. DW.304. As far as we can see at the moment, it will not be necessary to hold up material in the way of pressings etc., previously instructed, but the final assembly of these pressings will have to be modified. We will issue the new LOP. as quickly as possible. BY/ED.{J. L. Edwards} | ||
