It is far more compact, there being no occasion to remove onespool to replace another. It possesses a far greater variety of com-binations of length of wire, with the ability to increase currents of anyquantity or tension from zero to the maximum effect desired. The appa-ratus contains a rheostat in the battery circuit, modifying the electro-mo-tive force acting upon the primary field; a gear movement to regulate thecoil over, or remove it from the primary wire; a very rapid interrupter;. Fig. 60.—Faradic Battery CMcIntosh). slow automatic interrupter; switch for placing the same in operation; polechanger, and compound switch allowing of an instantaneous selection ofwire at will. The apparatus contains four dry cells for portable work; butfor office work and to get its best effects, fluid cells of a larger patternand less tendency to polarize are essential. Fig. 64 is a view of the right end of the coil, with the figures represent-ing in yards the length of the different combinations. The different sizesof the wires, Nos. 21, 32, and 36, are also designated. The various sec-tions of wire can be selected by placing the two arms upon any two but-tons, and whatever buttons the arms are placed upon, the length and sizesof wire as stamped between the buttons will be included in the circuit.
