By these it should [seem] as if trial wire required to be drawn out 9 less 

 with the wires at 36 inches distance than with single wire, and 17 less with two 

 wires at 18 inches, whence I should suppose that [the quantity of] elfectricity] 

 in these three cases was as 96, 87 and 79. 



The trial wire not drawn out was 70 inches, but the straight part of it was 

 only 54.

 trial wire.
