“Polarity Indictor. Consists of two electrodes sealed into a glass
tube filled with a chemical solution. When connected into a circuit the
solution about the positive electrode turns red while that about the negative
remains uncolored. Useful in determining the polarity of circuit terminals
and the direction of current flow. For use on D.C. circuits up to 30 volts
… $2.25; for use on D.C. circuits from 50 to 600 volts .. $3.00.” This
