{Theory of Storage Battery
Springs From Inquisiq
tive Human Tongue
By THOMAS R. COOK,
. Nice Prcoidont 1nd Genet-u! Man-
uer of the Westinghduoo
Union Battery Cornpnny,
THE storage battery grew out
of a taste for electricity.
“Itaste” is used, according to the
original Websterian definition of
the word
Back in 1767 there was a man
who had the whole principle of
automobile starting, submarine
propulsion, and door bell ringing
on the tip of his tongue and didn’t
know, it.
His name was Sulzer. He re-
corded this experiment in (food:-
note of a book called “New
Theory of Pleasures."
“If two pieces of metal, the
one of lead and the other of lil-
ver, he joh'led together . . . and
if they thus be placed on the
tongue, a taste will be perceived
quite ‘lumilar to that of vitriol of
iron; nevertheless, if. either of
these pieces be separately applied,
an vestige of such a taste is left.
It IS. not probable that by the
junction of these two metals nny
solution of either. occurs. or that
the dissolved particles insinuate
themselves into the" tongue. It
Jmust therefore be concluded that
the junction of the metals causes
in one or the other, or in both
., , n Vibrgtion of their particles, and
A. this Vibration necessarily “facts
the nerves of the tongue and pro-
ducgs-the taste mentioned."

began depopulating. the frogl
ponds of Europe with all the ardor
inherited by the epicures of today,
and equally to the detriment of
the frogs. As Charles Lamb de—
scribes the Chinese burning 'down
their houses in order to roast pigs,
because the first pig was roasted
in an accidental fire, so the scien-
tists preyed on the frogs as the
source of electricity because Gal-
vam found that a properly ma-

frogs, tongues, or any other ani-
mal matter. Volta used zinc. 'sil-
ver, and moist pastebpoard, ar-
ranged in what he called a circle,
venturing close to the “circuit" of
today.

E ctricity produced by chemi-
cal change in a storage battery
hasn’t the spectacular qualities of
a flash of lightning. But it does
something. Lightning never turn-
ed a wheel or a propeller, but the
unlovely “juice” of the electric
cell hauls the coal from the mines
against the submarine. Lightning
is the pendant dewdrop on a flow-
er, sparkling inthe‘ sun. Elec-
tricity ,in a battery is the water

movements over the original cells
as designed by them. Faure’s paste
plates are used exclusively for
the automobile, while the longer
life of the Plante type has pre-
served it in uses where space is
not limited and where irregular
charging and discharging is no
required. ,
A modern storage battery con-
sists of seven major items—plates,
separators, electrolyte, jars, cov-
ers, cell connectors and case. Not
a whole lot of things to worry
about, but sufficient through-the
years when automobile makers
put in storage battery space as an
after thought and forced battery
makers to unique methods of as-
sembling and contraction.
kinking Batteries Better
Battery service has reached a
high state of efilciency. The un-
tomobilist of today can drive
around the corner to a service
station and get his battery charg-
ed, watered, tested or repaired
with no trouble to himself and at
a minimum cost.
Perfection of battery parts has
witnessed nothing startling, but
has marched along with steady
strides—a new idea in interior
improvement here, an innovation
in exterior strength there. All
has worked toward the same goal
—the ideal battery which will
have no weak link, but ‘which,
after affording the maximum of
service, will give out in entirety
much like the Deacon’s wonderful
One Horse Shay.
Battery makers are near, if not
at, that goal today. Separators,
the weakest item in a cell, have
been protected from impurities by
thin rubber sheets, and one manu-
facturer, aiming toward structural
strength to withstand the vibra-
tions of the motor car, has evolved
an unique rubber gasket which
has made the battery cover liter-
ally ; spring top. The jolts for-
merly communicated with disas-
trous afoot to the plates are ab-
sorbed today by the gasket’s r60
siliency.
The World’s Worker
Human invention in developing
the storage battery has never been
appreciated. Probably it never
will. Today farm house: are
cheerfully lighted, massive draw-
brrdge' s are lifted, automobiles and
airplanes are started, launches
and broughams are driven, mm‘
er’s lamps illumm' ate the crevices
in the shafts, automobile head—
lights sweep the highways“ and
radio calls the world to a small.
gathering. The cause and reason
lie within the confines of a small
box—the modest cOntainer of elec-
tric energy,

the whole principle got started un‘
