Default Re: Old books/magazines and the gems within

I have a copy of Newnes Wireless Constructors Encyclopaedia published 1932 which I dip into occasionally.
I just opened at random and found an article on making / repairing your own accumulator.
For the paste for the positive plate you need 4 parts redlead (Pb3O4) 1 part Litharge (PBO) and 1 part sulphuric acid (1.12 sg). Mix to a paste.
Not be done in the kitchen with your wifes best mixing bowl....
