Paper, 'The effects of temperature on the electromotive force and resistance of batteries' by W H [William Henry] Preece Preece writes: 'In the discussion on my previous paper read on February 22, 1883 [see PP/3/7], it was suggested that I should continue the observations on the influence of temperature to the case of secondary batteries. I am indebted to Mr Tribe for one of his cells made so as to fit my apparatus, and charged at different times with solutions of various degrees of saturation.' Annotations in pencil and ink.
