Show IiOXO-XiIVCD DUV CKM.S OP XHW type A patent has b cen granted to two Orange, N. J., Inventors recently, pertaining to a type of dry cell ln-tonded ln-tonded to overcome tho defects of an ordinary cell due to tho drying out of tho electrol)to nnd the deterioration deterior-ation of tho electrode even when on open circuit. In this new cell a gelatinous electrolyte of caustic soda and starch Is used, and by this In-gonlous In-gonlous combination the ordinary cause of troublo has been largely eliminated. eli-minated. It Ib claimed. When tine and oxlde-of-copper electrodes, for example, are employed It Is said that tho efficiency of tho cell Is greatly Increased, being oven greater than a wot battery cmplo)!ng similar electrodes elec-trodes and an alkaltno electrolyte.
