A reward is offered for the information leading to the arrest of Eddy Current, charged with the induction of an 18 year old coil named Milli Henry, found half choked and robbed of valuable joules. This unrectified criminal armed with a ferrite rod, escaped from Weston Primary Cell, where he had been clapped in ions since Faraday. With an erg to be free, his escape was carefully planned in three phases. He fused the electrolytics, then he climbed through a grid despite the impedance of the wardens whose reactance was too slow. Finally he went to earth in a magnetic field. What seems most likely is that he struck and A.C. motor. This is of low capacity and he is expected to change it for a mega cycle and return by short circuit to ohm. He may offer series resistance and is a potential killer.
