THE APPLICATION OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CURRENT. 447 The simple plan above described will be found far more con-venient and satisfactory for cautery currents than the cumbersome © H hi I Fig. 7. and costly motor-dynamo-transformer. The latter apparatus iswholly unnecessary for the purpose. For a portable cautery plant the storage battery has practicallysupplanted all others. A storage battery, however, to be kept in good
