There may be one, two or more of these. and the more there are the finer the coil may.be adjust- ed. By moving the sliders back and forth any portion of the winding of the coll may be brought into use, so that the result is exactly the same as though you had a vast number of different sized coils which could be connected or disconnected at will. The tapped coil is very similar in its operation, but instead of being provided with sliding contacts, this type has the wires “tapped” at defi- nite spaces. From these points Wires are led to contacts of a multiple- point switch and thus, by moving the wi:mh arm from one point to an- o other the same results are secured o " as with the slider coil, figure 2. ~ZND$ FOOT MISERY' Both of these types are single or | 8 Cal-o-cide positively gives quick refief ¥ primary coils in_which the currents lasting results.
