 electrons. 



If electrical vortices always attract each other 

 when they have closely adjacent surfaces moving 

 in the same direction, then it appears that a series 

 of them arranged as shown in Fig. 11 should form

 which exists within the nuclei of the atoms. Such 

 a series may be considered as having been built 

 up of either protons or electrons. When a num- 

 ber of vortex rings are arranged in such a series 

 they will probably all assume the same diameter 

 because the immediate environment of each ring
