Lightning Conductors and Purposes of Copper Points
Dr Heas explains fusion of lightning rod tips never occurs and smooth fine points attract concentrated strokes while angled or ribbed points split them into threads. Copper points outperform platinum needles, and unbranched copper conductors should not exceed 0.20 inches in diameter. The main aim is perfect communication with the earth. The text also notes uses of soapstone and steatite, plus a poultry advisory promoting Sheridan's Condition Powder to improve laying hens, with pricing and order details.
