A useful arrangement to disconnect the cells entirelyfrom each other, and so to prevent short-circuiting, whichalways goes on more or less when a large number of cellsare connected in series, has been brought out by , of Teviot Place, Edinburgh, and is termed byhim a Cut-out. The wire from every fifth cell, instead io6 A Manual of Practical Medical Electricity of being connected to the sixth cell, is brought up to theelement board and is there fastened to a small brass piece,while from another brass piece just opposite the first onethe wire to the sixth cell passes. In the case, then, of fiftycells, there would be twenty such pieces of brass, and everygroup of five cells would be entirely disconnected from thenext group. When the cells are required, suitable plugsof brass, fitting the spaces between all the brass pieces, andfastened to a rod of ebo
