TITLE: HIGH RATE DISCHARGE CURVES OF VARIOUS BATTERIES FOR CHASSIS LIGHTING AND STARTING

CURVE LABELS:
CHLORIDE 6BXE5 (E2) (82 1/2 lbs)
TUDOR SPECIAL (97 3/4 lbs)
LUCAS SPECIAL (82 1/2 lbs)
CHLORIDE 6BXE4/1 (E1) (a)
LUCAS (82 1/2 lbs) (2nd time)
CHLORIDE (79 1/2 lbs)
FULLER SPECIAL (87 3/4 lbs)
P&R PDL 9 E (97 3/4 lbs)
CHLORIDE 6BXE5 (b) (69 lbs)

NOTES:
All batteries were discharged through the same circuit of constant resistance .076 ohms hence curves are also curves of terminal voltages. To a different scale.
Batteries: 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 20, 22, 23.
