Supposing then the platesto be magnets, the combination described forms a magneto-electricmachine, and in the rotation of the armature, electric currents will be 428 PAEIS UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION. excited in its enveloping wire. The peculiarity of the arrangement is,that the currents thus developed will pass by the commutator into thewire which wraps the plates, and if the rotation he in the proper direc-tion, will tend to reinforce their magnetism. If, however, the plates arenot originally magnetic, at least in some degree, the rotation will produceno
