BATTERY CHARGING RIG

The existing open type resistances now being used on the above are over-rated and the wire is continually sagging causing danger by fire due to the excessive heat generated.

We want to replace them with up-to-date slider pattern and should be glad if you will order for us:-

1 - 73 ohms. - 3.3 ampere.
1 - 8.5 " -10.0 "
1 - 1.0 " - 8.5 "

Zenith single tube type B. resistances.
