[Boatanchors] 9V batteries

[Jim Wilhite]

Your story reminds me of a repair method used in earlier days at a house. 
Take a cheater cord and attach to the telephone lines then plug it into the 
110 v. outlet.  If it didn't fix the problem it found the problem for the 
lineman.

The first time I saw this they were using large (maybe 6x9x12) B-batteries
of 45V each, connected in series and carried on top of a truck.  Later
there was a test set made for the purpose that incorporated much smaller
batteries inside a protective case and suitable test leads and a meter.
