A. Fig. 64.—Right End of High-Tension Coil. good way to amalgamate the zincs is, take a strip of zinc, dip it in a so-lution of sulphuric acid and water, then dip it in mercury; the mercurywill adhere to and run over it; then rub up over the surface of the zincsof the battery until all are well covered with mercury. During the proc-ess of amalgamation the zincs should be kept well moistened with a solu-tion of sulphuric acid and water. Fig. 66 shows a convenient form of portable galvanic battery with thedoor open, illustrating the construction of its various parts. The box con-tains a compartment at the bottom into which the hydrostat board H isput when not in use. When the battery is to be carried about this boardH is placed on the top of the cells, with its rubber padded side plug and socket arrangement is simply another method of increasi
