Description: The active material of the negative plates of the Nickel Iron battery is iron oxide. The retainer pockets are made of very thin, finely perforated nickel-plated steel, of rectangular shape, 1/2 in. wide, 3 in long and 1/8 in. maximum thickness. The iron oxide, in finely powdered form is tightly rammed into these pockets, after which they are mounted into the grids. After mounting they are pressed, forcing them into close contact with the grids, and at the same time making the sides of the pockets of corrugated form to provide a spring contact of the pocket with the active material
