corrections described on page 65 to find what the specific gravity
would be if the temperature were 70 deg. F.

BY WEIGHT

For 1.300 specific gravity use 5 ounces of distilled water for each
pound of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.280 specific gravity use 6-1/2 ounces of distilled water for
each pound of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.275 specific gravity use 6-3/4 ounces distilled water for each
pound of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.260 specific gravity use 7-1/2 ounces distilled water for each
pound of 1.400 electrolyte.

BY VOLUME

For 1.300 specific gravity use 3-1/2 pints distilled water for each
gallon of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.280 specific gravity use 4-1/2 pints distilled water for each
gallon of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.275 specific gravity use 5 pints distilled water for each gallon
of 1.400 electrolyte.

For 1.260 specific gravity use 5-1/4 pints distilled water for each
gallon of 1.400 electrolyte.

In case you wish to use other measuring units than those given in the
above table, this table may be written as follows, giving the number
of parts distilled water to 10 parts of 1.400 specific gravity
electrolyte:

Specific Gravity Desired Parts by Weight Parts by Volume
---------------- ----------------------- ---------------
1.300 3 4-1/4
1.280 4 5-1/4
1.275 4-1/6 6
1.260 4-7/10 6-1/2

The next table gives the number of parts of distilled water to 10
parts of concentrated sulphuric acid (which has a specific gravity of
1.835) to prepare electrolyte of various specific gravities:

Specific Gravity Desired Parts by Weight Parts by Volume
------------------------ --------------- ---------------
1.400 8-1/2 15-8/10
1.300 13-1/2 15-8/10
1.300 13-1/2 25
1.280 15 27
1.270 16 28
1.260 17 30

PUTTING NEW BATTERIES INTO SERVICE

New batteries are received (a) fully charged and ready for service,
(b) fully assembled with moistened plates and separators, but without
electrolyte, (c) in a "knockdown" condition, with dry plates and
without separators, (d) fully assembled with "bo
