Editor's Notes
Referring to yours of 13th inst. In storage battery the size of the plates determines the quantity and the number of plates in series determined the electromotive-force.##Your second 100 lights should be run on a main having 2 1/2 per cent loss from a feeder and a second feeder used. The whole thing is to never have but 2 1/2% of loss upon a main. you can loose what you please on the feeder as no lamps are put on. Send me sketch of the two sets of lamps with distances and I can give you the calculations and proper method
