I am looking for a type of battery (D cell, 1.5 volts) I've not seen
in a long time.  It is an Everready but is only one-half the height
of a standard D cell.  Would anyone know if these are still
manufactured and perhaps supply an address where they can be bought?

I've tried calling Union Carbide and the response has been "we never
made one."  It is, of course, sitting on my desk.  But, sadly, long
dead.


Thanks.

[Moderator's Note: No offense to Union Carbide, an otherwise fine
company, but don't you just love it when a representative of a firm
absolutely denies what you already know? Then when you tell them what
*you know*, instead of seeking counsel from a more experienced or
informed employee they keep right on denying it.  PAT]
