With a high-tension rectifier apparatusone can add a single-impulse switch. (6) A second outfit of less capacity is useful as a stand-by in case of abreak-dowTi. This is an important point, because in a large institutionwork must go on constantly. (c) Overhead high-tension cables, properly insulated, should be stretchedfrom one end of the room to the other. (d) A change-over switch is useful when two installations are used,and another switch for quickly connecting to various pieces of apparatus.This may also be accompanied by adjustable tube leads, running on wheelsalong the high-tension cables.
