A text-book of physics, largely experimentalOn the Harvard college "Descriptive list of elementary physical experiments." . Thus the action is contin-uous, and comparatively rapid. [366. The Induction-machine.—This machine appears in severalforms, but each of them may be described as a continuously actingelectrophorus, or a combination of such instruments. Every such machine has one part or more than one, which corre-sponds to tho resinous plate of the electrophorus, and is, like this ELECTRICITY. 453 plate, charged at the beginning of operations, by friction or other-wise. Such parts are called armatures. Every such machine has something corresponding to the movablemetal plate of the electrophorus. This something is usually a glassplate, sometimes provided with strips or disks of metal, mounted soas to revolve readily upon a horizontal axis. We shall call thisthe carrier. The particular form of machine which will now be described iscalled sometimes the Voss, and sometimes the Toepler-Holtz, ma-chine. It is equivalent to two electrophoruses. It has two armatures, AB and AB (Fig. 244), each consisting of.
