replaced by new ones of standard size, without being returned to the factory. zAll the parts of the interrupter are standardized and can be renewed at any time as we keep a stock of parts on hand. A long life of all the parts has been madeLong Life of Parts. . . £ , ~. . . , an especial feature. The ones subjected to the greatest wear are of course the contacts. But they havebeen made unusually large and of the very best iridio-platinum ob-tainable. Aside from the contacts, the only parts which may needrenewing are the springs, which once in a great while crystallizeand break under the strain of constant bending. The contacts should last for a year with constant use, while thesprings may never need renewing. In short we recommend the Roentgen Self-Starting Mechani-cal Interrupter as the most efficient, most reliable, and most satis-factory of the various mechanical interrupters which are offeredto-day. 20 James G.

A COMPLETE interrupter with adjustable condenser and switchesas shown can readily be adapted to coils whose operations isrendered unsatisfaclory because of the inefficiency of the interrupter.The output of an induction coil, operated by the ordinary mechani-cal interrupter, can be materially increased if the Roentgen Mechani-cal Interrupter be used in its place.
