DIRECTIONS FOR INSERTING A SPARE MICA-FOIL.—Undo
the Contact Screws, lift the Contact Pieces and place Foil
fairly under, and screw down, taking care not to jam the
Mica on to the Foil, which should be loose, so as to allow
for expansion.
_Certificate from the Vienna Exhibition,
which was protected throughout by
“Hedges’ Patent Fuses.”_
[TRANSLATION.]
THE PATENT HEDGES’ CUT-OUTS have found a useful sphere
of employment in the labours of the Technical Scientific
Commission, and their construction has proved itself most
admirably adapted to the ends in view.
