Figs, i, 2 and 3 show forms ofthese condensers as manufactured by Messrs. Gliflord H. Brown &Co., of New York City. Fig. i shows diagram of a series-multiple and multiple-series standard condenser. It consists of tenl/io of a condensers. It will be seen from the diagram that these condensers may be used singly, in series, multiple, series-multiple and multiple-scries, making many combinations the position in which the plugs are shown, two condensers are in. -DI.\GR.\M OF CONDENStR series with two in multiple giving a capacity of .04 The rangeof this condenser is from I to i/ioo of a Fig. I shows an adjustable standard condenser, the minimumcapacity being .025 This condenser is provided with a printedcard, which slides in and out of the bottom of the box. On thiscard are marked the numbers of the plug holes to obtain the desiredcapacity. This card will be found of great convenience as well asa time saver. Fig. 3 shows a non-adjustable standard condenser designed forhigh potential work. We are informed that Dr. Pupin is using a
