Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In the Minotto's* cell the pot is a layer of sand or sawdust. At the bottom of a glass, or glazed and highly vitrified stoneware jar J, there is placed a disc of sheet copper c, to which is attached one end of an insulated copper wire, which passes up through the cell. Above this plate are placed some crystals of copper sulphate c s, and on the top a piece of thin canvas c, separating the copper sulphate from the layer of sand or sawdust s, and on the top of the sawdust rests the zinc plate z, separated from the sand or sawdust by a piece of thin canvas c. The cell is completed by pouring in some solution of zinc sulphate, so as to cover the zinc disc, but not so much as to reach up to the brass binding screw b, cast into the top of a little column of zinc, forming part of the zinc disc. |
