...telephone. This permits the use of much weaker currents in the Bridge itself, thereby minimizing disturbing effects due to heating and electrode reactions and increasing the range of usefulness of the apparatus. Another improvement is in the proper grounding of the set to eliminate errors due to electro-static capacity to ground...
...They had, said they, laid Crodon plating on copper, brass, and steel articles with notable success. The surfaces obtained were persistently lustrous, seemed never to need polishing, were almost as cheap to lay on as nickel, had 20 times the life of zinc. They resisted heat as well as electro-corrosion* and acids. They would be found valuable when applied to milled utensils (golf clubs, surgical instruments) that have now to be made of intractable alloys to render them long-wearing and stainless...
...metals by the chemical action of contiguous water, air or (especially) the two mixed. The currents disintegrate the metals, producing oxides and carbonates?iron rust, verdigris, tarnish, "bronze disease." Dr. Willis R. Whitney, Director of the Research Laboratory of the General Electric Co., is accredited the founder of the electro-chemical theory of corrosion...
...born at Idvor, in Banat, Hungary, in 1858. He came to the U. S. 50 years ago, worked his way through Columbia and joined the electrical engineering faculty there. He became an inventor and devised many useful and highly technical electrical inventions. He is now Professor of Electro-Mechanics...
