RE EXIDE CELLS AND EDISON CELLS COMPARATIVE WEIGHTS.

I reportedas below the comparative weights and the error is seemingly a typists error.

Weight per amp. hour (actual).

Edisons 12 volt discharge rate 8 amps. = .81 lbs.
" " " " 1 " = .55 lbs.
Exides 4" " " 1 " = .38 lbs.
" 4" " " 3 " = .33 lbs.

These werereported as Edisons instead of Exides.

Hoping this will put the matter correct.

W. Ellis.
