Text Appearing Before Image:
led by a lamp rheostat, the switchboard operatingit being shown in the front of cut on the right and the lamps being placedunder the table. In this way the strength of the secondary currents canbe controlled independently of the frequency. The speed of the motor, and consequently the number of alternationsof the secondary currents, can be varied by the lamp rheostat shown in thefront of cut on the left, as this rheostat is included in the motor circuit. The rheostat shown in the centre of the table is connected in shuntwith the secondary circuit, and is used to vary the strength of the currentapplied to the patient. Another apparatus for the generation of the sinusoidal current is seenin Fig. 73. It differs from Kennellys in that the shaft upon which thearmature of the sinusoidal apparatus is wound is directly attached to theshaft of the motor, thus doing away with the inconvenience of a belt.

APPARATUS FOR ELECTRO-THERAPEUTICS. 285 means of two extra brushes the current from the machine is commutatedinto a direct, or rather an interrupted, galvanic current, which is inter-rupted into the patients circuit by means of a switch by which the oper-ator may at will change the current from alternating to direct. Rheostats.—The general object and principle of the rheostat has beenalready described. It remains here to speak of those forms that are bestadapted for electro-therapeutics. A form of rheostat very well known to electro-physiologists and elec-tro-therapeutists is that of Siemens, and introduced into electro-therapeu-tics by Brenner in his researches on the ear. The unit of Siemens is a
