They are now bowed together for xiv inches to the factor obliquely converse where on earth the else two rings are together. Here they are trussed hindermost of the joining, and on the defective ball thus defined one of the ends is coiled in and out until it has made the electrical circuit and returned to the some other end rear of the joining, where both are cut retributive lasting plenty to lie opposed to a spiral of the ball.
