Thearmature may be placed directly in the center between the twopoles of the electro-magnet by the movement of the screw II. Thecores of the relay may be independently moved to and from the arma-ture by the screws N N. A form of polarized relay, a modification of what is known inEurope as the Stroh relay, now the standard of the Western UnionCompany, is shown in side view, figure 51. Its chief working partsare inclosed in a brass case with an ebonite top, in which there is an. opening through which the armature lever comes. There is also asmall opening in the sides of the brass case through which the polepieces of the electro-magnets can be observed for purposes of ad-justment. In the figure this opening is enlarged in order to showmore clearly the relative positions of the coils E E., pole pieces, this relay an ordinary horseshoe magnet is employed as the per-manent magnet. It lies horizontally under the base B of the relayas outlined in figure 51, which is a side view of the relay. The relayhas two electro-magnets with separate cores. In this form the elec-tro-magnets lie horizontally, lengthwise, with pole pieces facing, andthe armatures are vertical, lengthwise, the lower ends of the armaturesbeing loosely inserted in a recess in short iron extensions from therespective ends of the permanent magnet by which the armatures areinductively magnetized. The pole pieces extend across the
