Note 7 — Chapter XLIV · STORAGE BATTERIES (continued 2)

NOTE.—If the active material in the negative plates extend beyond the ribs of the grid (the supporting frame), it should be at once pressed back into place, care being taken to prevent the plates drying before this is done. The most suitable and convenient method for pressing, is to place between the plates smooth boards of a thickness equal to the distance between the plates and then put the groups under pressure.
