734 Having described my invention and some of the uses to which it may be advantageously applied, I claim: 1. The means described for preventing teakage of high tension electricity, comprising a curved conducting surface, in combination with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density. 2. The means described for preventing leakage of high tension electricity, comprising a curved conducting surface in combination with a conductor of relatively large radius of curvature, a coil of closely packed turns of relatively large radiusof curvature, and an insulating support, es set forth. 3. In a circuit of high potential, means for preventing leakage of electricity into the air, consisting of a coil with closely packed turns of relatively large radii of curvature, as set forth. 4. An electrical terminal for high tension currents, in combination with a conductor of large radius of curvature leading thereto, as set forth. 5. An electric terminal for high tension currents provided with a conducting surface, in combination with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density, as set forth. 6. An electric terminal for high tension currents, having a relatively large radius of curvature, in combination with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density, as set forth. 7. An electric terminal for high tension currents provided with a conducting surface of relatively large radius of curvature, and adapted to be supported from the inner or 838 371 q
