Extract from EFC1/T2.5.19.

Lucas 60 ampere hour celluloid.

Electrically, this would appear to be a very good battery as the discharge results and resistance results are very good. The arrangement of cells in the battery is, however, not what we require, but had the cells been arranged in this manner the battery would appear to have a very good claim for consideration. The constructions of the celluloid cases is very sound although, of course, the cells are not built up as separate cells. It would be interesting to know if the Lucas Company themselves make this battery.
