Each carbon-holder comprises a socket c<1>, Fig. 5, a gripping-piece c<2>, and a screw c<3>, and is hinged at c' to a sleeve d which surrounds a guide-rod e, Fig. 1. The holders of a pair of carbons are constrained to make equal movements by a telescopic connexion i, i<1>, by a pair of cords each of which passes downwards from one holder and upwards from the other and is guided by pulleys, or by a rod passing through sleeves on the holders, In the last-mentioned case, pins on the sleeves may enter spiral grooves in the rod, to ensure a symmetrical position of the latter. The guide-rods of one pair are attached to the frame at the top and to a fixed block h at the bottom, while those of the other pair are pivoted at e<2> to the frame and attached to a sliding block h. The blocks h guide the carbons and are connected by inclined links k to a vertical rod l adjustable in length by a screwed sleeve l<3>. The rod is pivoted to a lever m which carries an armature o acted on by series and shunt electro-magnets p, p<1>. An arm u is normally attracted by the shunt magnet and limits the movement of the lever. A dash-pot n is provided. Frame-rods r are provided each with oppositelywound series and shunt coils in series with those on the electro-magnets, and carry pole-pieces r<1> for controlling the arc. The shunt circuit is normally completed through a conical contact s<2>, Fig. 2, carried by a fixed rod s', and an annular contact s<3> connected by a cup s<4> and rod s<5> to the junction of two levers t pivoted at t<2>. When the carbons are nearly consumed, one of the horizontal rods connecting two holders, or a special piece, engages one lever t and lifts the contact s<3>. The shunt circuit being thus broken, the arm u falls away from the shunt electro-magnet, allowing the series electro-magnet to widely separate the electrodes. The are is simultaneously blown out by the action of the series windings on the rods r. According to the Provisional Specification, the series electromagnet may be replaced by a weight or spring, or a compound coil is used.
