Not all objects became electrified, objects "electrified" by the same machine appeared to repel each other (like magnets of the same charge); and objects "electrified" in different ways (one by touching an electric machine, for example, and the other, say, by rubbing amber) would attract each other (like magnets of opposite charge).
