Abstract
[AN engineering contributor to whom we have shown Dr. Walls' interesting letter writes: “It has been well known to electricians for the last thirty years that an electrolyte with metal plates in it will act as a condenser. These devices are called electrolytic condensers and are used in everyday work. They generally consist of aluminium plates immersed in an electrolyte, but iron plates in a solution of soda are sometimes used. They are useful for getting currents which lead in phase the supply voltage. Dr. Gunther Schulze carried out an extensive series of tests on electrolytic condensers at the Reichsanstalt in 1909. See Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau, ‘Kondensatoren Grober Kapazität’ (vol. xxvii. p. 247, 1909)”.—DITOR, NATURE.]
