INSULATED ELECTRIC SCROLL.--
H. The subscriber has Invented and taken measures to
secure patent on lightning Conductor in the form of
SCROLL The great advantages of this article will be obyi.
Gus to persons in any degree familiar with the science OF
electricity The scroll is one half inchiu diameter and
made Of Sheet Iron Copper four inches in width a
tordng eight superficial inches Of conductor equal in the
Iron Scroll to pound bar of the same metal two and
twohrs inches in diameter, and in the copper to bar
OF iron eighteen and two-third inches
The immense capacity Of this conductor obviates the
necessity of at Toast oneha the usual number of ground
leading lines and thereby reduces the number of running
feet by perhaps onethird, which, considered together
with the price Of The Conductor per foot will show that il
is not only the best but Of the cheapest in use
The lnsuator is Simple Terra Gotta Fastener which
admits of tho free contraction and expansion of the metal
