Numerousself-acting regulators for maintaining a uniform distance be-tween the poles have been devised. Such an arrangement iscalled an electric lamp. In some tho carbons are worked byclock-work, which requires winding up occasionally; in othersthe movement of the carbons is accomplished automaticallyby the action of the current itself. The Jablockoff Candle obviates all necessity for regula-tors. In this candle, instead of the carbons pointing towardeach other, they are placed side by side, A and B (Fig. 3), sep-arated by a thin insulating septum, C, of kaolin. The cur-rent passes up one carbon, across the space between the.
