LIGHTER BATTERY PLATES |ARE SOUGHT BY ENGINEER Experiments May Result in Sub- stitution of Cellulose for Much of Lead. NEW YORK (#).—Cellulose electric- storage battertes are under experimental | development in the private laboratory | of Edward P. Chandler, consulting engi- | neer. | His purpose is to take the ‘uriwieldy ; weight out of batteries by- substituting | cellulose for: s considerable portion of [ the lead now used in the-plates. Much | of this lead, Chandler says, 15 used only for support of the structuv. In place ot the excess lead Chandler proposes to deposit on the battery plates by & new electro-plating process a coat- ing of cellulose. He says that this cov- ering will form a “tough, rubbery, flexi- ble network sufficient io hold the light, | lead-coated plates in position.” ‘The plates will be made from a light alloy, with lead deposited upon them electrically. Chandler says that the,cel- | lulose coating over these plates will offer | :lf&:ltauy no obstacle to passage of elec- Ticity. - {HAVANA CATACOMBS - ONLY WINE TUNNELS | Underground Passages Found 'Be- neath.
