BATTERY GRENET’S PILES

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  To study the connection between piles.
Maker:
Officine Galileo - Florence
Price: L 390 Purchase date: 1931

  Description
  The four piles of prismatic shape are contained in a beech wood case, thus has two lateral columns destined to held the mobile system of the zinc-carbon groups. The immersion happens without complicate devices, similar to the device of the Grenet’s pile.
  During the descent, the group that is immerses stops on two elastic pads, that avoiding the risk of breaking in the case in which the operator should leave the control ring. In the rest position the four containers are kept covered with a glass plate.
