BATTERIES

save
you hundreds
of dollars
when compared
with replacing regular type batteries. Nickel Cadmium batteries
can
berecharged
more
than one-thousand times. Our tests show that, under normal
con-
ditions,
you may expect anywhere
from ten to twenty hours of continuous
use
before
you need
to recharge them.
if
the instrument
