Army Radio Men
Keep Batteries Warm
With Their Bodies
FT. MONMOUTH, N. J., \Sft —
The Army Tuesday announced de
velopment of a vest to keep
jatteries warm for radio opera
ators in cold weather.
The garment carries dry cells
and is worn beneath parkas to
capture body heat. A cord is
used to plug in standard Army
radios.
The Army explained bat
eries go dead quickly when ex
treme cold slows down their
electro-chemical action. Keep
ing them warm is difficult when
troops are on the move.
The Army Signal and Research
Laboratory, which designed the
vest, said batteries stay in ser
vice 10 times longer in 40 be
low zero temperatures when the
vest is used.
Tests in Alaska and the Antarc
tic have proved the vest valuable,
the Army said. Special pouches
can keep chemicals and drugs
warm while explorers are on the
trail.
Window glass was developed
during the third century A.D.,
and was cast on large flat stones.
