It has 3-compartment
Two outer compartment
One middle compartment

Reaction in outer compartmentsReactions in middle compartment
Electrolysis: 2NaCl(aq) → 2 Na+ + 2Cl Electrolysis : 2 H2O→2H++2OH– 
At Anode(graphite): 2Cl →Cl2(g)+2e – At Anode(Hg) : 2 Na-Hg → 2Na+ +2 Hg + 2 e – 
At Cathode (Mercury): Na(g) + Hg → Na-HgAt Cathode (Fe) : 2H+ + 2e  → H2

In outer  compartments; Hg-Acts as cathode graphite is acting as anode
In middle compartment;Hg acts as anode and  Fe - acts as cathode
