A VISIT TO THE FACTORY(Table of) ContentsTHEfollowing pages show how Batteries are made at the Factory. The illustrations will be especially interesting to Battery Service Station Owners who have conceived the idea that they would like to manufacture their own batteries.A completed battery is a simple looking piece of apparatus, yet the equipment needed to make it is elaborate and expensive, as the following illustrations will show. Quantity production is necessary in order to build a good battery at a moderate cost to the car owner, and quantity production means a large factory, elaborate and expensive equipment, and a large working force. Furthermore, before any batteries are put on the market, extensive research and experimentation is necessary to develop a battery which will prove a success in the field. This in itself requires considerable time and money. No manufacturer who has developed formulas and designs at a considerable expense will disclose them to others who desire to enter the manufacturing field as competitors, nor can anyone expect them to do so.If the man who contemplates entering the battery manufacturing business can afford to develop his own formulas and designs, build a factory, and organize a working force, it is, of course, perfectly. proper for him to become a manufacturer; but unless he can do so, he should not attempt to make a battery.The following illustrations, will of course, be of interest to the man who repairs batteries. A knowledge of the manufacturing processes will give him a better understanding of the batteries which he repairs. The less mystery there is about the battery, the more efficiently can the repairman do his work.Photo: Casting Exide GridsPhoto: Pasting Exide PlatesPhoto: Casting Small Exide Battery PartsPhoto: Forming Exide Positive PlatesPhoto: Burning Exide Plates Into GroupsPhoto: Cutting and grooving Exide wood separatorsPhoto: Charging Exide batteriesPhoto: Mixing paste for Prest-O-Lite batteriesPhoto: Moulding Prest-O-Lite GridsPhoto: Inspecting Prest-O-Lite grids for defectsPhoto: Prest-O-Lite pasting roomPhoto: Pasting Prest-O-Lite platesPhoto: A corner of Prest-O-Lite forming roomPhoto: General view of Prest-O-Lite assembly roomPhoto: Power operated Prest-O-Lite peening pressPhoto: Inspecting Prest-O-Lite separatorsPhoto: Inserting separators in Prest-O-Lite plate elementsPhoto: Final inspection of Prest-O-Lite batteriesPhoto: Prest-O-Lite experimental laboratoryPhoto: Laboratory tests of oxides for Vesta batteriesPhoto: Moulding Vesta gridsPhoto: Preparing Vesta plates for the forming roomPhoto: Burning Vesta plates into groups.
