The current through the nerve diminishes regularly with the magnitude of the angle («), provided FIG. 182. the resistance of the circuit is otherwise vanishing. Von Fleischl showed that, with regular rotation of the rheonome, the oscillations of current might be expressed in a broken line similar to Fig. 182. Equal sections of the abscissa correspond with equal times, while the ordinates are proportional with strength of VOL. II K
