I seem to remember a huge battery with a four-pin-socket, that you got
HT with your LT, and the HT was 90V. Half the weight of a good old fashioned

way
home from the jumble sale (I believe that the over-the-ponders call these
'rummage sales'). At the age of 9 or 10, the sheer size and weight of the
radios
meant that you always did something with them after you had fought them
into the house...

What's a
LT battery ?
To me (and, I expect, to Tony) it powers the heaters in a valve (tube to
those across the herring pond) portable radio :-) An almost obsolete term.
In the message you were looking at, it appears to be LapTop (normally a
Nicad)
