A very recent type of short wave condenser manufactured by the Marconi Company is shown in Fig. 128. Four copper platedglass jars are mounted on a metal rackand connected together as follows: Con-nection is made from the binding post Eof the left hand inside jar A to the aerialsystem. The outer coating of jar A restson the inside coating of the jar B. Theoutside coating of jar B makes contactwith the outside coating of the jar Dthrough the metal rack. The circuit con-tinues on from that point in just the re-verse direction, to that cited in the firstcase, finally ending at the binding post ofjar C. The four jars are thus connectedin series and have combined capacity of
