The Voltage of Six Dry Cells connected in series as above
would be approximately 6 x 1.5 or 9 Volts. ........................
FIG. 34.—Showing Six Dry Cells connected in Multiple. The Voltage of
such an arrangement would only be 1.5, but the Amperage available
would be six times that possible from Cells connected as in Figure
33. ...............................................................
FIG. 35.—Showing how to connect a Battery of Cells in
Series-Multiple. ..................................................
FIG. 36.—Battery Connectors like that shown above can be obtained
for 1 1/2 cents each and will be found to be very handy. ..........
FIG. 37.—A Simple Experimental Storage Battery consisting of two
Lead Plates immersed in Dilute Sulphuric Acid. ....................
FIG. 38.—Showing how to charge a Simple Storage Cell composed of two
Lead Plates immersed in Sulphuric Acid by connecting it to two
Bichromate of Potash Cells. .......................................
FIG. 39.—Showing how the Plates for a Storage Cell may be made from
Sheet Lead by boring it full of holes and filling with paste. .....
FIG. 40.—A set of three Plates composed of One Positive and Three
Negatives assembled to form a Cell. ...............................
FIG. 41.—Glass and Rubber Storage Cell Jars which are on the market
for the Electrical Experimenter and may be purchased very
reasonably. .......................................................
FIG. 42.—An empty Storage Cell Grid and also a Pasted Plate both of
which are on the market for experimenters who wish to build their
own Cells. ........................................................
FIG. 43.—Two Negative Plates "burned" together and the Connecting
Lug used. .........................................................
FIG. 44.—The Elements of a Storage Cell composed of two Negative
Plates and one Positive Plate in their proper position. ...........
FIG. 45.—Three different sizes of Storage Cells which may be
purchased ready made or built by the experimenter out of prepared
materials as explained. ...........................................
FIG. 46.—A Hydrometer for preparing and testing the Acid Solution
for Storage Batteries. ............................................
FIG. 47.—The proper way of Recharging Storage Cells from the 110
Volts D. C. Supply in series with a set of Lamps. .................
FIG. 48.—A Lamp Bank consisting of a Set of 110-Volt Lamps connected
Multiple and arranged to be placed in series with any device it is
desired to use on the 110-Volt Current. ...........................
FIG. 49.—A Single Cell of Electrolytic Rectifier. .................
FIG. 50.—An Electrode cut out of Sheet Metal. The top is bent over
at right angles and drilled so that it can be mounted on the
underside of the cover.
