Abstract
In the framework of Einstein-Maxwell theory, we consider collinear arrays of rotating electrically charged black holes connected by Misner-Dirac strings carrying gravimagnetic and magnetic fluxes. The first law of mechanics for these systems is derived. It involves as dynamical variables the areas, angular momenta and electric charges of the various Killing horizons — black holes and Misner strings. When the gravimagnetic fluxes all vanish, the first law reduces to a form where the dynamical variables associated with the strings are the string tensions and magnetic fluxes. This form is not generically invariant under electric-magnetic duality.
