Each of the two cells is surrounded by a coil of electric wire which becomes an electromagnet. The coils are so wound that the swings of the magnets...
...divers beasts, bats, and banshees that have lent their engaging presence to recent films, Frankenstein's monster is the most nearly terrifying. More subtle than Mr. Hyde of the staring eyes and grinning teeth, is this monster whom a mad scientist has pieced together out of the parts of corpses.
