MR.. EDISON'S OBJECT.
a DESCRIPTION OF HIS NEW CEId.-1LGIfr
NESS COMBINED WITH ENDURANCE.

NESS COMBINED WITH ENDURANCE.
The chief object sought by Mr. Edison has been
TO make a cell much lighter than those hitherto
used TO drive automobiles. Thus II would be pos
sible to put larger amount OF electricity into a
battery Of given weight. and correspondingly in
crease the distance which n vehicle would cover
on single charge. When the new Edison cell was
first announced last May. Mr. Edson's cxperts
thought that he could get n horsepower for one
hour continuously with a weight Of 533 pounds
whereas the socalled chloride cell (for automobies)
weighed l245 pounds. Since that time A new bat
terry, known the cxide. has come into existence
which gives horsepower hour for about sixty
pounds of cell. Shortly after the exide battery
was publicly described the claim was made by Mr.
EDISON that horsepower hour could be had for
a weight Of only forty-eight pounds. He then be-
gan fitting up elaborate factory at Glen Ridge
not far from his laboratory at West Orange and
prepared to put his battery on the market. Before
actually filling any orders he decided TO make a
number OF new tests. and these have been in prog
ress in the last few days. Others yet in con-
temptation.
One mpor:aI: difference between the new bat
terry and the old lies in the materials en-
ployed. Practically all the storage batteries now
In service have lead plates. with dilute sulphurc
acid. Mr.. Edison employs alkaline solution and
two metals. iron and nickel. The latter are re-
duced to an exceedingly fine powder by special
processes Of manufacture and are inclosed in
set into frames like panes of glass in a window
plates nickel The pulverized metal is combined
or s term sheet t of hard rb5 95enfs
introduced between adjacent plates. In cell
shown to the American Institute of Electrical En-
gineeers last year six plates Ohree PAIRS had a
combined thickness scarcely exceeding an inch and
a half Those plates 9 inches high and :
inches wide. 4 cell exhibited the Madison
Square Garden last autumn a trnc higher and
about two inches thick. The width unchanged
though the weight was seven and n half pounds
Besides securing lghtness, and thus greatly ex-
tending the range of electrically propelled vehicles
Mr.. Edison also thought that he had made cell
he nDr RI hfutfR
storage batteries climbing steep grades unusual
speeds and jolting would damage the plates in va
rious ways rendering costly renewals necessary.
Both before and since Mr. Edison entered the field
great improvements have been effected by others
in this particular The exde cell exhibited realark-
able endurance for the first few months after II
was introduced. Mr.. Edison has allowed himself
to think that his battery would never deterorate
under the hardest usage, and would last almost
forever. The recent tests and those yet be made
were designed to ascertain the accuracy OF those
expectations.
