Celluloid is employedto a great extent in Europe, but it hasnot found favor in this country. The < sizes of batteries, for centraltion use, are contained in tanks, lined with sheel lead, with welded jointsA new type of containing cells is beingput on the market which consists ofglazed earthenware. These, if theyprove successful will be permanent. The containing cells or tanks accum-ulate a moist deposit of electrolyte dueto the gassing, and to the creeping ofthe electrolyte. They are therefore. BATTERY CELL OX INSULATORS. mounted on insulators and separatedfrom each other. Glass plates, about \s of an inch inthickness are placed on opposite sidesof the cell. The battery plates are sup-ported by means of lugs, which r< -these glass plates and are thus pre-vented from touching the bottom of thecell. As alternate plates are at differentpotentials, some means of preventing 4yo RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING November, 1908. their coming into contact with eachother is necessary. On the smallersizes, glass lugs or perforated rubbersheets are employed to separate theplates. In the larger sizes glass rodsare used to keep the plates in theirproper positions. It is a well known tact that the linevoltage must be kept as near uniformas possible, and also that the voltage ofa storage battery falls during some form of switch is nec-essary to vary the battery vol
