Abstract
The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has rendered electrometallurgists signal service by 'the recent publication of this monograph, written by and containing the results of work by Mr. W. E. Hughes, formerly Chief Research Chemist to the Electrometallurgical Committee of the Ministry of Munitions, and already favourably known for his publications in this particular field. The present brochure contains, within the compass of fifty pages, a systematic study of the effect of current density, temperature, and mechanical movement on the nature of the cathodic deposit of iron formed from ferrous chloride solutions. The deposits were photomicro-graphed in every case, and the resulting numerous illustrations, excellently reproduced, are of considerable interest.
