Ray-O-Vac Advertisement
August 25, 1945 - Saturday Evening Post
Here is an advertisement by Ray-O-Vac from the August 25, 1945, edition of the Saturday Evening Post. As with many of the advertisements of the era, this ad refers to the company's contribution to the war effort during WWII, to wit, "Proven by our fighters - First choice for YOU."
In today's market, a leak-proof battery is assumed, but early dry cells (which sometimes were actually wet cells) were notorious for oozing electrolyte when subject to impact or vibration. At least when a modern dry cell starts leaking, the most it might do is cause corrosion of metallic contacts and some build-up on a plastic case.

Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
