Thenegative plate is a regular chloride negative, which hasbeen found much superior to any other form of negativeplate- The process of manufacture produces a negativeactive material, which is of a perfectly porous crystallinestructure, with the axes of the crystals perpendicular tothe surface of the plate. The charge and discharge rateof this type of cell is very high, as compared with theolder pasted form, the batteries being regularly ratedto discharge their entire capacity in one hours time, ifneeded. The cells are connected in series, and at present 252are in use at the Oakland station, and 244 at the Thirty- PleasantStation
