Revised National standard for dry cells and batteries

A Sectional Committee under the sponsorship of the U. S. Bureau of Standards, and organized under the procedure of the American Standards Association has developed a revised national standard for dry cells and batteries. This has been approved by the American Standards Association. The standard sets up specifications for materials, workmanship, performance, sizes, and markings and covers dry cells and batteries for radio, telephone, ignition, flashlight, and other uses. A part of the standard is devoted to methods of test which will determine compliance with the specifications. This standard will be published by the Bureau of Standards and become available through the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C.
