This information is provided relative to the Transoceanic battery pack.
It is new and under construction or better described as a "work in
progress". Below are some links about the TO batteries and other miscellaneous
links that I found informative.
All of the pictures that are linked to a different web site
are from that particular associated web sites. So I consider those
pictures the work and property of their respective owner and do not take credit
for them. While you are there, drop the web owners an email thanking them
for their site.
Construction
| When Jim sent these images to me I was
impressed. He uses commonly available materials for the internal
structure of the batteries. |

The big pack.
"FYI, the 90/9 volt batteries seem to come in at least 2
sizes. I have a Zenith and RCA that are the same dimensions,
but also have a Eveready that is a little smaller.

Hi
Paul;
I attempted to reproduce the
EverReady battery artwork from scratch by examining
the real thing. I have my results posted as two files at http://www.eskimo.com/~dritland/radios
You are welcome to download them and use whatever you think might be of
help. The original is in Aldus Pagemaker 5.0 format and the other is
the same file printed to an Adobe Acrobat virtual printer, the result
of which is a standard PDF file. When
I had these printed at a local print shop, we got much better results
with the original PM5 file, than the PDF version, but the PDF version
is easier for most folks to view. A good print shop will understand
Pagemaker and should be able to deal with it. The PDF version
demonstrated some digital artifacts at certain zoom levels which
were difficult to correct.
Anyway, I figured I'd let a second set of eyes take a look at them before
I submitted these things for general consumption.
Kindest Regards.

Unfortunately many web sites and links have disappeared
and went a way. I have begun to remove many of the dead links.
Please forgive me if you find a few on my web site. I will try to
keep the fine work of these authors alive (even though the text is lost
the art work is still shown). If you don't mind please let me know.
Thanks, Paul.
