[ARC5] Batteries That Do Not Corrode?

[Robert Downs]

They did and they do.  As I just told Jim, I corrected the error the next
day but there is no way on a reflector to un-ring the bell.

    I have the same impression. I read something recently about 
how these batteries were assembled but don't remember where. 
Maybe on the web. However a google search for lantern batteries 
turned up

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantern_battery   Which mentions 
both D and F cells.
Also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes
which has dimensions. F cells are about half way down.
