The solid, which is moresuitable for large electric lighting installations, central stations andtramway work, is considered the best, as in its present form it can besupplied at low rates, and it has the advantage that short-circuitinghas practically no injurious effect. Owing to the large amount ofexposed active material on both the positive and negative sides, veryhigh rates of charge and discharge may be taken from the cell withoutin any way injuring it. It is stated that even if excessive rates ofdischarge were takenfrom the elements, so asto cause slight expan-sion and disintegration,this would do no harm,as the material wouldtend to settle at the bot-tom of the cell, andwould, in time, solidify.
