There is shown in Pig. 76 a photographic illustration, of a common typeof flexible inter-cell connector such as has been described above. The lead-antimony terminal lug castings are plainly shown in this illustration, as arealso the thin strips of lead-plated copper. In Pig. 77 is given a line drawing 184 Storage Battery Manual in which the alloy lug casting of this connector is shown in section toillustrate the method hy which it is attached to the taper end or pillar of the cell terminal post. This type of connector has proven very satis-factory, as the copper affords good electrical conductivity, and, furthermore,on account of its flexibility, it is easy of adjustment for connecting the cellsof a tray together, as well as withstanding and absorbing knocks andvibration incident to the servi
