Standardization Of Dry Cells

An important part of the standar,
d!zatlon program of the Department
OF Commerce IS the elimination of
useless sizes. In almost any line of
manufacture, there is room for con-
siderable Improvement of this sort.
Certain sizes of articles are made
because at that time they are neces-
sary to fit into some particular kind
or size of machine or receptacle
which perhaps later on becomes ohso-
lete.
Everyone uses dry batteries for
some purpose, either to ring a door
bell, furnish ignition for a gasoline
engine, or as source of illumina4
ton in flashlights and similar de-
vices. In the latter field particular
~ a great variety of devices exists.
Flashlights in certain cases are re-
garded as novelties and are, there
fore, made in distinctive STYLES in
order to command a better sale.
Heretofore. this has meant that a
large number of sizes of batteries
must be used to fit the different
siZs and styles of cases. There is no
reason, however, why standardized
batteries should not be used, the
cases being made TO fit them

With the purpose of standardizing,
so far as possible, specifications for
and the sizes OF commercial dry cells,
the Bureau of Standards recently
called a conference at which the ma
iority of the manufacturers of such
batteries together with large
number of users, were represented.
The work was not altogether new t.
the Bureau as considerable progress
had been made along the line Of dry
eel standardizatio nduring the war IN
cooperation with the War Industries
Board. At this conference II sizes OF
the larger dry cellsd were considere
and z of these were recommends as
standard, 80 different sizes and kinds
of flashlight batteries were consid.
cred and of these adopted as stan
dard sizes, 2 sizes of batteries for
use with radio apparatus were also
recommended as standards for use
with wireless outfits.
It is expected that the elimination
of many sizes for which there IS but
little demand and which will no
longer be considered as standard will
result in a considerable saving IN the
cost of manufacture, and. conse'
quently, added economy and conven-
fence to the public. When it is con-
sidered that on an average $4,000.
900 dry cells are sold each year, this
is matter of considerable conse-
ouence. Beside the elimination of use
less sizes, specifications were adopt
ed for the performance of dry cells
which, it is believed, will assist in
the securing of more uniform pro-
duct. Beside the important work &C
complished by this conference, it is
of interest as showing the hearty
cooperation which is being furnished
the Department in its standardization
work.
