The actual apparatus is depicted in two views, Figs. 45 and46, where will be recognised on the left-hand side the cohererand tapper-back; in the middle the batteries, both for relayand for coherer circuits ; and on the right-hand side a relayand the signalling or calling instrument, in this case shownas an ordinary electric bell. 64 SIGNALLING WITHOUT TELEGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS. 65
