Abstract
THE exact combination about which Mr. Wilson inquires is already in existence: it can be seen at 2, Garfield Buildings, Gray's Inn Road, in the Jensen electric bell factory. The arrangement used by Mr. Jensen—and it seems to me preferable to that suggested by Mr. Gardner—is to cause the hammer of the small clock to make electric contact in the circuit of the distant large bell as it rises in preparation for striking the blow upon its own small bell. Wih a rubbing contact the action is perfectly certain.
