THE USE OF THE INTERRUPTER.
To use the rapid interrupter which works against the end of core it
is only necessary to adjust the screw F, and any degree of vibration
may be obtained. The same may be said of the slow interrupter which is
adjusted by the screw D, but it is further controlled by the sliding
weight at E. By sliding the weight up and down the interruptions are
varied from very slow to rapid.
The higher the weight the slower the interruptions and vice-versa. At
button G, is the “single contact” used in obtaining single impulse
contractions.
The different interrupters may be placed in circuit by a switch on
the base of the Cabinet which works over a series of buttons marked
S, F and C which put in operation the slow, fast or single contact
interrupters, as desired.
DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING CELLS.
Fill the cells according to the directions on the cell label, and
connect the wires of the cable to the cells, as shown in the cut; No.
O being attached to zinc of the first cell, No. =1= to the carbon of
the first cell, while at the same time the carbon of the first cell
connected to the zinc of the second cell by strip from the carbon of
cell, No. =2= wire of the cable to the carbon of the second cell, and
so on, the last wire being connected to the carbon of the last cell, as
shown by No. =40=. The two wires marked faradic should be connected as
shown, the four cells being placed in two rows of two each, the zincs
and carbons being connected together as shown in diagram.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Footnotes have been moved to the end of each chapter and relabeled
consecutively through the document.
Illustrations have been moved to paragraph breaks near where they are
mentioned.
References in the text to illustrations have been standardized.
Sidenotes originally appearing near the start of a paragraph are
positioned at the beginning of the paragraph; sidenotes in the middle
of long paragraphs are positioned near the relevant sentences.
Punctuation has been made consistent.
Variations in spelling and hyphenation were retained as they appear in
the original publication, except that obvious typographical errors have
been corrected.
