This is reversed on every horizontal bar.
The above arrangement gives a good & effective way of keying in the active material.
The horizontal bars on the negative grid have a slightly larger pitch than on the positive
These grids appear to be in every way satisfactory, & are of good design, & shew a great improvement on those that were fitted to the RR11 12 volt battery.
I see no way in which these could be improved at present.
