Within the cylinder is found a core of softiron rods, which are covered in the simple induction coil bv amovable brass tube (the tube of Duchenne). Outside of the coreand the primary current is a second coil, usually consisting of a or*. 50.—Columbia pulp tester and ionization apparatus. (Wall model.) great many turns of fine popper wire.

A vibrator is placed in close proximity to the iron the current passes through the primary coil and becomesmagnetized, the steel spring of the vibrator is attracted and breaksthe <iirmit. The magnet is now immediately released and thespring reasserts itself. The control of the current is guided bymoving the brass tube; the gradual removal of the tube incnthe current and vice versa. To furnish an approximate guide ofthe strength of the current,
