Incandescent electric lights . rms the armature, and theygenerate the current.

The center of the cylin-der itself is occupied outside of the ro-tating axle by a cylinder of wood, which,in its turn, is surrounded by a thick tubemade of a series of very thin discs ofiron, separated from each other by tissuepaper. This arrangement facilitates therapid changes of polarity in the tube is terminated at its two ex-tremities by two thick clamping discswhich are made to compress the others 17 laterally, and the copper discs of theworking coil occupy the two compart-. nients at the extremities of the cylinder,as seen in Fig. 5. Under such condi-tions as these the resistance of the gene- 18 rator is small, and permits of great sub-division of the current in multiple arc; Fig. 6. nor is there any insulation to be burned,and it is even possible, in case of thedeterioration of the bars, to renew them
