PRITCHETT T.W. PRITCHETT YOUR REF._______ OUR REF. M/5. 6th October 1925. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Fowler Clark. Dear Sirs, With reference to yours of the 2nd inst. re life of battery, we note that it might be considered to have done about 45,000 miles which surely must be an increase on the previous battery life on the 40/50 H.P. cars. With regard to the oil on your large F.A.11 cells, we have instructed our Works to send you some more of this and as it is such a small item we are not asking for any order for it. Yours faithfully, PETO & RADFORD. G.R.N. Minchin | ||
