The structure of the plate forms a conducting network to allparts, equality of action all over its surface, and this,together with the facility for escape of gas without dislodgingactive material, favors the ability to stand very high rates ofcharge and overcharge without marked deterioration. In short, since storage battery plates can be calculated outscientifically and then constructed in exact accordance withthe design, the series of developments and inventions of places the manufacture of storage batteries on the samebasis as that of dynamo-electric machinery. These processespermit of any suitable forms of active pans and supporting. FIG.

The General Storage Battery Co., which is now putting ele-ments of this type on the market under the name of the BijurHigh Duty battery, has recently equipped a factory atBoonton. N. J., with special automatic machinery for the cheapand rapid production of this battery, where, by reason of anabundant and cheap hydraulic power and the automatic ma-chinery used, storage batteries of the highest grade can be produced, it is claimed, for a lower cost per kilowatt-hourcapacity than is possible anywhere else in the country. The company has also developed a new and complete lineof automatic regulating boosters and cell switches, and other auxiliary niiparatus for all nf -tation work and
