These vibrations are made at such a rate that the effect of the light produced is flexible bar, 6, of metal. Fig. 1171, is firmly attached to a pillar^, and, at the other, bears an ironarmature, a, placed opposite the adjustable pole-piece of the electro-magnet m. A metal collar c sup-ports the negative electrode, and an arm j the positive electrode. The pillar j? is divided by insula-tion at i, into two sections, the upper one of which conveys the current from the positive terminalto the arm j and the rod E. The magnet m is placed in the circuit. When the cm-rent cii-culates,the armature a is attracted, and the electrodes separated; on the weakening of the current theelasticity of the rod b again restores contact. During the movement of the negative electrode,since it is caused to occur many times a second, the positive electrode, though partially free to fall, 1171.
