Plate Burning

Racks

When you burn-in new plates, or attach a whole

group of plates to a plate strap, you need a burning
rack to hold the plates in position while the lead is
melted in.
THEY ABE. The Ambu Plate Burning
Racks have guiding slots cut in the base as well as in
the iron bar, or "comb*" In this way the plates are
.held at exactly the right distance, apart both at the
top and bottom. Bases are made of hardwood. The
small rack will take care of practically -all
inch
plates made by Willard, Gould, Philadelphia, and
It will, also accommodate all: thin plates
TJ, S. L.
such as the Exide 3XC, Willard, and Gould. The large
rack will tak care of many other types, being designed to accommodate fully 95 per cent of all the
types of plates which are made at present.
Special iron fittings are furnished which are
placed around the plate lugs on the comb so as to hold the plates firmly in position, and
to prevent the hot lead from running off.
IT DOES. Enables you to burn-in plates in half the time required when using
the ordinary rack. Plates are held at exactly the correct distance apart.
The hot lead
cannot run off. No iron touches the bottoms of the wet plates.
Shipping weight of small rack, 10 Ibs. Shipping weight of large rack, 15 Ibs.

CADMIUM LEADS.

These Cadmium Leads consist of

two

heavily insulated flexible

wires, each four feet long, at one
end of which are brass prods with
wooden handles, and at the other
end of which are forked terminals for attaching to the voltmeter.
Fastened at right angles to one of the brass prods is a rod of chemically

pure cadmium.

With

CADMIUM LEADS

you can make absolutely reliable tests in a few moments, and you must have the
means to make such tests if you want to know whether each set of
plates is functioning properly, and able to give good service while
under load. The Cadmium Test will show up a poor set of plates,
these

be they positive or negative plates, instantly. No battery should

be taken off the charging bench, or sent out of your shop until a
Cadmium Test shows that both positive and negative plates are

and ready to give good service.

Can be used with any voltmeter that has readings as fine as five

Burning Lead Mold

Here's a convenient, inexpensive lead mold which will be quite welcome to you in these
days of conservation. Every battery shop has an accumulation of scrap lead from post
drillings, old connecting straps, and old plates.
Such scrap makes good burning lead, and should be
saved until enough has accumulated to be melted and poured
off in molds.

The

of heavy

When you once lift a battery up on the work bench,

you do not want to move it around any more than necessary.

Battery Carrier
"Carry a Battery Like a Suitcase."

You would

not think of carrying a heavy suitcase by holding it in front of you with both hands. Yet that is the way
a battery is generally carried, not because it is heavy, but because of the way the handles are attached to the battery box.

WHAT

IT IS. The Ambu Battery Carrier consists of a

hardwood handle having a swinging steel arm at each
end to which is attached a strong steel hook for engaging the

stout

handles on the battery box.

WHAT IT DOES.

The construction is such that the terrific strain on the handles of tha
battery is lessened to a minimum. A strap with hooks should never be used, because there
is a side pull that soon causes the handles on the battery to give way.
Enables you to carry
a battery like a suitcase, with the least strain on your arms. One man can carry two batteries at once because he can hold them down at his side. Also useful in lifting a battery
out of the car, and putting the battery back in the car. Shipping weight, 1 Ib. each, or

on

Any

A. C. or D. C. Circuit,

AMBU AEMATUEE TESTEE may

be used on any direct or alternating current

circuit, and on any voltage from 6 to 220,
No change or adjustment is necessary in changing from a direct to an alternating, or from
alternating to direct, current circuit. For the various voltages, it is only necessary to use
lamps of the proper voltage or no lamps at all, as the ease may be.
Construction Is Very Simple.

Current from the supply circuit is led through a current interrupter, which is bridged
by a condenser. This current is sent into each consecutive pair of segmefnts through the
Contact Making Pins shown in the illustration. The two Transformer Arms shown in the
illustration touch the commutator also, and lead to the telephone receiver circuit through
ft specially designed transformer coil.
Indications Are Positive.

what the nature of the trouble

In making a test, the contact making pins are brought down on
each pair of consecutive segments, the Transformer arms resting on the commutator several
segments on either side of the contact making pins.
This testing is all done with one hand. An open circuit is indicated by a sudden and
marked louder sound, a short-circuit by a sudden and marked dimmer sound, reversed commutator connections by louder sounds on every second pair of segments as long as they
last.
Grounds are located by testing between each segment and the armature core or shaft.
The segment which is nearest the grounded point of the winding is indicated by a sudden
dimming of the sound in the receiver.
AEMATUEE TESTEE has been in daily use in a large armature repair
THE
shop for over three years, and has been given a thorough and severe tryout. There is
nothing to get out of order, no delicate or adjustable parts.

Battery Plate Press

The most common fault of negative
battery plates is the bulging out of the
active material caused by the formation of lead sulphate as the battery discharges. This active material must be
pressed back flush with the grids if the
battery is to give good service again.
Moreover, both positive and negative
plates become bent out of shape, and
buckled, and must be straightened.
Many battery men use an ordinary
iron bench vise, for this purpose, but

The AMBIT BATTERY PLATE PRESS is designed to do away with all the disadvantages of the iron vise. Three sets of plates may be pressed at once between the large wooden
jaws. No iron or any other metal can touch the plates. The upper jaw is movable and is
operated by a large hand-wheel. No acid can drip on the operating screw.
trough is placed so as to catch the acid squeezed from the plates, thus eliminating the
rotted, acid soaked floor which results from the use of the iron bench vise, and which ruins
shoes and clothes.
Fittings with instructions are furnished with the Press for mounting it on the wall of
the shop. The press may also be mounted on a stand, which is not, however, furnished with
the Press. This stand can be easily made.
The lower jaw is removable, and may be lifted out and replaced if it becomes acid soaked.
All parts are coated with acid-proof paint.
