‎Both works by Winkler first editions. In the first Winkler for the first time shows that the electrical spark ignates alcohol. He also presents his invention of electrical machines. - The work treats ""Properties, effects and causes of electricity" two new frictional machines, pp. 10 , 18 size of leather cushion, p. 21" velocity of electrical transmission, p.70, effect of magnet on electrical sparks, p. 63."" (Wheeler Gift, No 313).The second work also contains descriptions of the invented electrical machines and in which for the first time a leather cushion is used, which is pressed against the glass globes by a spring. (Wheeler Gift, No 323, lacking the plates).Kratzenstein's work is a PIONEERWORK IN ELECTROTHERAPHY. He was the first to use electricity for therapeutical purposes. He details a method of treatment which consists of seating the patient on a wooden stool, electrifying him by means of a large revolving frictional glass globe and then drawing sparks from him through the affected body parts. (Not in Wheeler Gift).‎
