    Re: Old batteries from WWII found in a MARK-IX-A handle

    Here are two pictures for those who could still be septical about the topic  Regards  Jean Villemagne


    Well they do say "Extra Long Life", so I suppose they're only 'doing what it says on the tin'.  I suspect the slightly bulged appearance means that if you were to look inside you'd find the salamoniac paste has eaten away most of the zinc and soaked and dried into the card.  I had a similar pair with one of my American sextants an A10 or 12, but I can't find them now, so I must have thrown them away.  DaveP
