Excerpt from Practical Radiography: A Hand-Book of the Applications of the X-Rays
As is well known, any ordinary source of electricity, whether a battery, dynamo, friction machine, or what not, has two poles or terminals, relatively described as positive and negative. If these are connected by means of a wire we form what is known as a circuit; and when the battery (etc.) is in action a current of electricity passes along the wire.
