Williams Perfection BatteryUse
Williams Electro-Medical Battery Co. New YorkContext
I suppose it was considered perfect because you can regulate the strength of the shock. (Many faradic batteries had similar options.). Has a switch to select from primary or secondary currents, and the sliding tube which moves across the coil can limit the output current (less when all the way inserted, full power when removed). The tube acts like a shorted turn of wire, which counteracts the magnetism in the core of the coil...).Collection
