| Non-Corrosive Washers Motorists have had to contend with so-called "Battery Corrosion" since the invention and perfection of the modern six volt and twelve volt storage batteries as used in automobiles, trucks, buses, etc., in the entire world. It is true that many attempts have been made to retard the destructive and costly actions of this acknowledged "Common Enemy" but they have all proved impractical or failed to give the desired results in actual service. — OUR PRODUCT — We have been manufacturing and selling our Non-Corrosive Washers for nearly four years and have the stamp of approval of automotive and battery engineers as well as one of our largest universities and actually "banish the mess that steals battery power." As far as we are able to learn, we are today the only company manufacturing and selling Non-Corrosive Washers that require no servicing or attention once they are installed and are not in the least affected by climatic conditions or adverse weather of any kind. — CORROSION — Pleasure car automobile manufacturers and manufacturers of cabs and delivery trucks build a motor that is designed to use six volts. Large truck and bus manufacturers build a motor that is designed to use twelve volts. Now suppose you have a lump of corrosion on your battery posts, cables or connections, we know that you will have a slow starting motor due to the corrosion which creates a high resistance and prevents the normal flow of current from the battery to the starting motor and ignition. The presence of our Non-Corrosive Washers and the absence of corrosion enable your battery to deliver a full clean wallop and your generator will operate to its fullest advantage. | ||
