M.D. Barr, Esq., District Manager,
Edison Gen’l Electric Company,
Toronto, Canada.
Dear Sir:-
The storage battery referred to in your letter of 8th instant has been received at the Laboratory, also copy of the Canadian specification on same. Mr. Insull, has also communicated with us in regard to this battery, which will be subjected to a thorough test, and the result known to you.
I note that there are no diagrams included with the papers which you sent us concerning this battery. The specification seems to be an imperfect translation of a French patent. We would be in a position to make a more fair test if you could lend us the full French patent, with drawings, or an exact copy of the same. We would take care of these and return them to you immediately the test was completed. Please advise us if you can supply the same.
Yours truly,
A.O. Tate
