the current, in the sections near the 

 machine and remote from it, became 

 changed from unity, which was, of course, 

 the relation before the introduction of 

 the condenser : (2) There arose a differ- 

 ence in phase in the two portions of the 

 circuit. Both these changes depended 

 only upon : (i) the coefficient of self-in- 

 duction in the remote section only ; (ii) 

 the resistance in the remote section only;

(hi) the capacity of the condenser ; (iv) 

 the period ; and not upon the coefficient 

 of self induction, or the resistance of the 

 section near the generator, or of the 

 generator itself. Under a proper arrange- 

 ment of the four properties quoted, a 

 considerable excess of current could be 

 easily effected in the remote section over 

 that in the nearer section. Mr. Nalder 

 had been kind enough to give him the
