                  United States, a battery of flying artillery consists
                  usually of six guns.
  
      {Barbette battery}. See {Barbette}.

            sweeps the whole length of a line of troops or part of a

      Note: In the trough battery, copper and zinc plates,
               connected in pairs, divide the trough into cells, which
               are filled with an acid or oxidizing liquid; the effect
               is exhibited when wires connected with the two
               end-plates are brought together. In Daniell's battery,
               the metals are zinc and copper, the former in dilute
               sulphuric acid, or a solution of sulphate of zinc, the
               latter in a saturated solution of sulphate of copper. A
               modification of this is the common gravity battery, so
               called from the automatic action of the two fluids,
               which are separated by their specific gravities. In
               Grove's battery, platinum is the metal used with zinc;
               two fluids are used, one of them in a porous cell
               surrounded by the other. In Bunsen's or the carbon
               battery, the carbon of gas coke is substituted for the
               platinum of Grove's. In Leclanch[82]'s battery, the
               elements are zinc in a solution of ammonium chloride,
               and gas carbon surrounded with manganese dioxide in a
               porous cell. A secondary battery is a battery which
               usually has the two plates of the same kind, generally
               of lead, in dilute sulphuric acid, and which, when
               traversed by an electric current, becomes charged, and
               is then capable of giving a current of itself for a
               time, owing to chemical changes produced by the
               charging current. A storage battery is a kind of
               secondary battery used for accumulating and storing the
               energy of electrical charges or currents, usually by
               means of chemical work done by them; an accumulator.
  
      5. A number of similar machines or devices in position; an
            apparatus consisting of a set of similar parts; as, a
            battery of boilers, of retorts, condensers, etc.
  
      6. (Metallurgy) A series of stamps operated by one motive
            power, for crushing ores containing the precious metals.
            --Knight.
  
      7. The box in which the stamps for crushing ore play up and
            down.
  
      8. (Baseball) The pitcher and catcher together.

               postpone consideration for the day, and until the

               the object of the motion is to hasten action, and it is
               made by a friend of the measure. In English practice,
               the object is to get rid of the subject for the time
               being, and the motion is made with a purpose of voting
               against it. --Cushing.
