...one apparatus or two apparati, right?
Not sure that's the right paradigm even in the original Latin. I recall being told that apparatus is something like a fifth declension noun, and so the plural is not -us, -i but rather -us, -us with a long u, whatever that is.
Anybody left among us who knows Latin? Mine is only by osmosis, and I would jump at the opportunity to be better informed...
