Interesting adjustable electric battery from c 1880. This type was used by Edison, to his phonograph. It was very popular with experimenters for many years because it gave off no fumes.

The vessel would be half-filled with an acidic electrolyte and the metallic plates could be lowered into it to produce a voltage by the reaction of the electrolyte with the rosa. Two carbon rods and a zinc rod. Electrolyte: sulphuric acid with potassium bichromate.

Many of these cells would usually be connected in series to obtain larger voltages. Glass vessel, brass fitting on wooden top.
