Faradays Method.—{a) The figures represent, completeand in section, the apparattis used by Faraday; this being a con-denser of a convenient and symmetrical form. The outer coatingconsisted of a hollow brass sphere P Q, that was always put to inner coating was a brass globe C. This could be chargedby means of the knob B connected with it.
