Description
Part a is a grey metal battery case with lid. Inside are two Burgess No. 6 Giant Telephone Dry Cell batteries (b-c), connected with copper wire cables.
History Of Use
A dry cell uses a paste electrolyte, with only enough moisture to allow current to flow. Unlike a wet cell, a dry cell can operate in any orientation without spilling, as it contains no free liquid, making it suitable for portable equipment. Telephone dry cell batteries were used for crank and/or portable telephones.
