Re: (erielack) WC Tower What are these?

[Erie910 <erie910_@_fastmail.fm>]

Photo 1/9 is of batteries.  In my experience, these are used for 
railroad crossing signals, but they probably had many other uses.  The 
single battery at the center of the photo appears to be a nickel-iron 
battery (the railroad for which I volunteer still had some of these in 
service until 3-4 years ago), and the others are either nickel-iron or 
nickel-cadmium.  They all use water as a coolant.
