trying to remember the designator for the *big* single cells with a pair
of knurled nuts on the top for connection (or sometimes a Fhanestock
clip for each terminal). Those may have been 'G'. I know that as a kid
I made lots of things working from those.

That's the size and shape -- but a bit older than the ones which
I used. Mine were mostly Eveready, and some were thumb nut terminals,
instead of the Fahnestock clips which were on this one.

Unfortunately -- that just said "dry cell", just as I remembered
for most -- but there *was* a size letter for them. (Or was it "No. 6"
instead?)

Thanks,
DoN.
