Synopsis

Portable cordless electric power appliances have now become a commonplace feature of the domestic, as well as the industrial, scene. High up in the pecking order of these services are torches, flashlights and lanterns of various shapes and sizes and for these the illuminating bulbs may vary in size from that of a small pea to a long fluorescent tube with a high intensity quartz tungsten lamp. This book describes the construction, applicability, operation, characteristics and capabilities of batteries for a wide range of cordless power appliances. These appliances include: buoys and beacons in coastal waters; search-and-rescue beacon equipment; lamps, torches and flashlights including those of specialised construction, for example on meteorological balloons; and a wide range of scientific apparatus including oscilloscopes, portable tape recorders and battery-operated toys.
