J 1 J ] 3 J T I Per G Per & 3 ..... For itions entirely disregarding and quite incapable of fulfilling, the cardinal requirements of my invention. these reasons alone, neither in their particular functions, or purposes, or results, do they bear the slightest similarity to the constructive improvements above described. Koreover, high-potential effects of the character here chiefly contemplated have, to my best knowledge, only been produced by myself, and are obtainable only by devices of my own creation. Having described my invention and some of the uses to which it may be advantageously applied, I claim: 1. The combination with a high tension oscillating circuit, of means as described for preventing leakage of a free charge, comprising a conducting surface combination with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density. remote from any oppositely charged body 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 radius of curvature, and an insulating support, as 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 771 curvature, as set forth. remote from and opposite in charged body 4. An electrical terminal for high tension currents, i in combination with an insulated conductor of large radius of curvature leading thereto, as set forth. 5. The combination with a high tension line, of a sup-, port there for comprising an sulating support secured there to st. a point of low electricremote from any apposite Acharged's body, (8) 77 371 73
