Abstract
ON Thursday last, December 13, Mr. W. Duddell read before the Institution of Electrical Engineers a paper on “Rapid Variations in the Current through the Direct-Current Arc,” which he illustrated by experiments. Members of the Institution have already learnt from the experimental demonstration given by Mr. Duddell in 1898, when he read the paper by Dr. Marchant and himself on the alternate current arc, to expect from him most interesting experiments. Nor were they disappointed last Thursday. It is perhaps too much to say that the experiments then shown excelled in beauty and interest those exhibited on the former occasion, but they fully maintained the same high level of oexcellence.
