ieat is applied, de-pending altogether for its existence on the differ-ence of temperature in the opposite junctions. Ongrasping the junctions, at one end, in the fingers,even the wai-mth of the hand produces a sensibleeffect. It is evident that, if the junctions at bothends of the series were… … sixty pairs of plates of bismuth and antimony, eachthree inches long, three fourths of an inch broad, andone fourth of an inch thick. They are arranged sideby side, in a metallic case, B, so that one series ofjunctions, underneath the battery, may be heated bythe radiation of a hot iron plate, E,…
