See Tesla's 1892 lecture "Experiments With Alternate Currents of High
Frequency and High Potential" at http://www.tfcbooks-dot-com/tesla/experime.htm
for a good description of this type of bi-polar RF power supply.  Notice the
cut-away view provided in figure 3 and also figs. 1, 8, 10, and 11 which
shed light on the terminal connections present in the MY INVENTIONS, page 69
photo.  See also Tesla's 1896 U.S. Patent No. 568,178, METHOD OF REGULATING
APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING CURRENTS OF HIGH FREQUENCY and other related
patents.
