February, 1927 ‘Read this! “We are using your Iron- clad batteries exclusively in our industrial trucks, and have obtained excel- lent results and very sat- isfactory service from their use. This fact is all the more pertinent in that our trucks are sub- ject to very severe and trying conditions. “We are glad of this opportunity of telling of the performance of your batteries, and of commenting in addition on the prompt and cour- teous response of your employees. “India Wharf Storehouses” Brooklyn MARINE REVIEW 35 Dependable service and easy upkeep This battery is built so rugged that it keeps going strong with a minimum of attention _ ORE andmoreusersare learning that electric industrial trucks equipped with Exide-Ironclad Bat- teries are the most efficient means of handling material. There is just one reason for this—the dependability of the Exide-Ironclad Battery. This bat- tery is built rugged to stand the wear and tear of hard usage. Except for recharging and flushing, it will stay on the job for years with practically no attention. The secret of Exide-Ironclad dependa- bility lies in the construction. The cell jars and covers are made of Giant Com- pound, a practically unbreakable mate- rial. The cell connectors are flexible straps of lead-plated copper, and will not surrounded by active material and cased in a slotted rubber tube. The Exide-Iron- clad positive 7 plate consists of é-metal grid , from which ex- tend conduct- ing rods, each ° 5 e IRONCLAD BATTERIES crystallize under vibration: Both positive and nega- tive plates are built extra- strong and are equipped with feet that rest on ribs at the bottom of the cell. In addition, the positive plate is of a special tubular construction that keeps the active mate- rial in place and retards its loss—thus giv- ing the battery longer life and greater durability. These are some of the features that make this battery a most profitable investment. But it has many other advantages which you ought to know about.
