- Editor's Notes
- "Mr. Edison asks me to communicate to you the results of the test made at this Laboratory of the Gassner Dry battery. This battery has been found to be nearly, but not quite as good as a LeClanche cell of equal dimensions, which is the same conclusion that others who have tested this battery have arrived at. It is very portable, compact and clean. Where bell ringing and light discontinuous work is required, it is well suited for adoption, but is in no way qualified for the production of electrical power. It has, therefore, quite a useful and extensive field to supply, but can hardly be said to be the "very best" even in that line. Its convenience is its best quality, and power cannot be expected from it."
