    …in effect combined four rectifier-type direct-voltage power supplies in series. The alternating voltage supplied by a high-voltage transformer was transmitted to the higher stages through an array of capacitors; a second group of capacitors kept the direct voltage constant. The final direct voltage would have been four times the peak…
