A process for the winding of threads to form cross-wound bobbins by precision winding is carried out in such a way that the traversing speed is reduced in proportion to the rotational speed of the spindle and is increased in order to achieve a low winding ratio. First a main winding is wound with a first winding ratio, almost until the intended maximum diameter of the bobbin is achieved, and then ...

A lead storage battery with gel-like thickened acid electrolyte has a separator (1) ribbed on both sides, the ribs (3) of which are many times wider than the channel-like depressions (4) between them, which thereby take on the function of vertical gas channels and in particular facilitate an escape of the oxygen developed during charging from the adjacent electrode plates. It is just as easy for t...
