The corrosion seems to start at this point. There appears to be sufficient space hereat to allow of these washers being made much thicker than now. A further improvement in the design of the cell cover may be effected to help in the prevention of corrosion. My suggestion is this: The top of the vent hole should be brought down to a lower level by about ½". I think there is (contd?) | ||
