Pictures of Accumulators and batteries.

An accumulator is a single cell, a battery is a series of cells in English parlance.

It is sort of hilarious, as research should be done before commencing a project; not when it is nearly finished. But I'm the idiot that wanted $300 to make an exact copy. Hinges are unobtainium and will have to be custom made, same for the catches. $400!

Anyways here goes.

I took a battery box into work and had the boss look at it, he knows his woods much better than I do. He identified beech, oak and mahogany in the one box I had brought in. It would appear that in wartime Britain they used whatever was around that day.

PS Grant I'm not a Visual Collector, I actually acquire the real thing, two of the wooden boxes I have are the ones David Gordon had on his site.
