Robert,

Palladium would have sounded like the name of a nightclub to a 19 yer-old Texas boy. Honestly, I do not recall. Remember, I was a lowly TM3, and just learning. All that I can remember was that we put fan inserts in one access hole to insure an air sweep over the cells, and an exit at the opposite end for air exit, and checked the specific gravity to check charge status.

I loved the steam fish! Complex mechanical wonders! They were interesting to make ready,and exciting as hell to shoot! The noise, the shouts, the jolt, the rushing water,etc.....
