BATTERY POWERFUL.

A normal storage battery weighing
about so pounds is capable OF delivering
enough electrical energy TO raise itself
10 a height OF six miles In the air.
Since 1850. when Plante began work
on his storage battery consisting of two
plates Of metallic lead immersed in a
diiution OF sulphuric acid wonderful
strides have been made by battery
manufacturers.
Piante's method OF making battery
plates was slow. tedious and expensive.
Fanre later gave us a more economical
method In the hand pasted plate--con-
sisting OF skeleton framework of lead
with the sponge lead and peroxide of
iead--comprising the active material
filling the spaces between the ribs Of
the framework.
The hand pasted plate filled long
feit want. but II had its disadvantages,
inhering In the fact that because a
workman has only 40 much strength,
he liz unable to pack the stiff paste
needed for a plate into the plates skele
ton all at once Tie must resort to
doing II hv degrees, applying one-half
OF the paste gradually to one side Of
the plate. then turning the plate over
and applying the second half of the
paste to the other side, Air affects the
paste rapidly SO that while the paste
might at first be In the best adhesive
condition II would be less apt to stick
when the last half OF It was applied.
Then the man could not supply the
pressure really needed TO force the
paste into the best grip. The result
was an uncertain weld midway between
the two sides Of the plate and between
the mass of paste and plate frame.
Then the machine pasted plate was
invented. along with special machinery
TO manufacture It, With such a plate
manufactured under heavy pressure
solidity was assured. together with
densified and tougheued structure
