He is beginning experiments and Blythswood cannot conceive of anything to answer 'whatever it is', 'vibrations in a field...without its having an effect on its path'. He describes the effect of glass plates placed between points of a machine 'the sparks have to pass all over it...' He was sorry to hear that Preston was still ill. |
