Consuming only a small amounts tions of space in one of OATSC's loan wooden hangars is probably the largest battery shop in the west. From a tiny house located in the center of the large repair hangars early in 1942, and with a capacity of recharging 10 batteries a week, it has grown to its present size with equipment for recharging 500 batteries at once. Batteries, which can rightfully be termed the heart of an airplane, are completely overhauled at a rate of 25 per cent over the quota of 1000 per month. Many batteries have been received here from overseas for repair and have been returned to the front.
