The positive electrode consists in all cases of two flat plates, com-posed of an alloy of zinc and mercury, which are suspended fromthe cover. In some models these fiat zinc plates are cast on an in-verted U-shaped hanger, having a threaded extension which passesthrough a hole in the cover, to which it is clamped by a suitable other models (as shown in the illustration) the two zinc plates.
