LVII. This plate shows the extra coil, with a ball of 30" diam. as âfreeâ terminal, discharging laterally across the laboratory into the air. The discharges are much stronger when breaking out from the ball, requiring a much higher e.m.f. Capacity also adds to their volume and fierceness. Many streamers again show luminous points and attain great length, one in particular, which traverses the entire laboratory striking the wall. The end is probably too fine to print clearly. Many discharges again are carried to the roof by the draught they create. Once more 100 throws of the switch were made. The conditions were otherwise the same.
