The Willard Battery

When the average motorists
steps on the starter of his auto
mobile and the electric current
galvanizes the engine into life,
very few realize that they owe a
debt Of gratitude to q French
professor who lived a century
and a quarter ago. It was Al
lessandro Volta who made the
first battery from alternate lay
era of copper and zinc disc,
separated by small pieces of
woolen cloth.
From the first crude battery
of Volta to the modern Willard
All-Rubber Battery is q long
jump that is full of interesting
developments. It has taken
more than q hundred years to
advance from copper and zinc
discs separated by cloth to plates
of lead with Threaded Rubber
Insulation in a solid rubber case.
Until a very few years ago the
separators which are a very inn
portant part of an automobile
storage battery were universally
made of wood. Manufacturers
realized that wood separators
had q comparatively short life
and were eager to find some way
to use other and longer-lived
material,
Thin sheets Of rubber each
pierced by thousands of little
threads proved to be exactly the
thing that T. A. Willard. Presi-
dent of the Willard Storage
Battery Company was searching
for to take the place of wood
separators.
These are the batteries that
are featured by Hollenbaugh
Garage the Willard Dealer in
Cheyenne Wells. adv
