This is themethod suggested by in his hook,Radiation, Light, andIllumination, pageA portion (AC ) of adirect current carbon arc( A B ) is included in analternating current account of the uni-directional conductiveproperty of the arc, onlythat half of the alternatingcurrent which is in onedirection can flow in the A C.

The load on the rectified circuit is16, 32 candle power lamps, all the meters used indicatedirect current only.
