Electronics Trivia Question of the Day: "What ever happened to the original "A" size battery? Battery sizes are specified by ansi standards, we are all familar with AA, AAA, C, D, and N sizes... But what was the A size? And, were there ever standard 1.5 V B size? (You can get B size in 4.5 and other voltages today.) Does anyone know who developed the sizes? (Union Carbide?) ___________________________________________________________ Roger Garnett (garnett@tcgould.TN.CORNELL.EDU) Cornell Phonetics Lab (plab!roger@cornell.uucp) Ithaca N.Y. (607) 255-0704
