The current from battery, ascending metal pillar, passes alonehanuner, and by screw gets into primary coil, thus inducing current in secondary coil. By connection between primary coil and wires around soft iron of 6, iron becomes a magnet, hammer is attracted from screw /, and current thus broken ; but when this occurs, soft iron ceases to be a magnet neces- sarily, and, hammer springing back, the whole course of events is repeated. This may occur several hundred times in a second. The above may be clearer from diagram, Fig- 171. By sliding secondary coil up and down, strength of induced current can be graduated. series of such repeated "with great regularity and frequency may be effected. The apparatus consists essentially of a pri-.
