Carboy

[Bazzer]

A carboy is a big bottle in a wire cage used for storing bleach and the like, the accumulator is/was a huge battery thatI would take to the garage where they would charge and they also sold Tizer.

Yeah but that film only came out in 2010. Carboys have been around for a bit longer.

It's not a word I ever hear in the lab. We would just call it a bottle. A lot of the old terminology seems to be on the way out though.

Thanks

I don't believe the accumulator was necessarily "huge".
I was about 7 at the time so I guess size is relative but theat's the thing alright.
