Electrodes.—Among the dozen various electrodes furnished by manu-facturers of static machines those illustraetd above are most frequentlyemployed. The metal point and ball electrodes are the principal ones,while besides these, operators possessed of original ingenuity will devisesuch special modifications as their cases call for.
