I, for one, am sick of this constant stereotyping. There are MANY male
machinists out there and MOST of them got to where they are on TALENT,
not just good looks. I don't know how many times our own lathe operator,
Swedish Kurt, has suffered the sexist jibes of visiting female business
types.

The insulting, sexist garbage talk still hurts me when I think of it.
"Hey, BLONDIE..where's your parting tool" and "Is THAT a Norse Taper?"
make me cringe.

There's WAY too much of this going on and it can NOT be all blamed on
six martini lunches by those overbearing wenches.

Please, it's within your power to end this here. Think how YOU would
feel being treated as an object by thoughtless and uncouth business
suited TRAMPS.

Let's give the minority males in the machinist trades the respect they
so rightfully deserve.

thanks!



My initial smartass answer would be Rayovac, Varta, or any other
crappy non-alkaline battery! :)

Otherwise, sorry... can't help.

Except that "nickel" is correctly spelled either way. Grating, but that's the
way English goes. ;-)

Why not? DimBulb will join in any minute with the wrong answer, as always.

** That is wrong headed thinking - as usual for you.

The " end point " voltage for Ni-Cd and alkaline cells is the same at 1 to
1.1 volts - making any difference in the initial voltage irrelevant.

Hence one use the same number of cells.

I went digging through boxes in the garage and managed to
find a few of these. I was hoping for a manufacturer name,
model number or some other form of identification.

No luck on that score.

But, they are fabricated as I mentioned (elsewhere this thread)
except appear to be either conformal coated or a *clear* "shrink
tubing".

Appear to be die cast. Inscription reads:

DUMMY BATTERY
To be used with 8 standard or
alkaline penlight cells.
Korea

with the initials "DJ" on the reverse side.
