On releasing the commutator cradle the weight, W, lifts the two wires from the mercury, breaking first the primary circuit, and subse- quently the galvanometer short-circuit. The time of transfer is thus kept constant. Keys.—For the study of blaze-currents, occasional use has been made of two special keys, modified from the well-known model of the Pohl's commutator, for the purpose of automatically (i) breaking
