| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. C. CJ. EFC/T15.9.22. X.3398 - P & R BATTERY BD.{Mr Berend}11 FOR 40/50. We recommend it would be a safe policy to adopt this battery as a simultaneous standard with the 6BXRE5 Exide battery, owing to the undoubted superiority it would have in the matter of durability. The inclusive weight of battery and box in each case is the same, because the P & R battery does not require an additional box, though the battery is 12 lbs. heavier. We are preparing up-to-dat- standardisation sheets in connection with this, which we will send you shortly, as most of the signatures have previously beem obtained. EFC. | ||
