Abstract
A method and apparatus checks and adjusts the relative position of electrodes which form a so-called underwater spark gap device, particularly for medical purposes, and in which one electrode is fastened to the base part by means of at least one electrode holder. The method and apparatus employ an adjusting arrangement which positions the electrodes at a desired position with respect to axial displacement, angularity between the axes, and electrode spacing. By means of a relative movement of the adjustment arrangement, in a direction which is vertical with respect to an electrode axis, the electrode holder or holders are plastically deformed in such a manner that the electrodes, after the rebounding of the electrode holder or holders, are located at the desired position.
