Electrolysis
Abbott, Arthur Vaughan. Electrolysis from railway currents. 4,200 w.

Municipal engineering, v. 18, p.i.)
Cause, injurious effects and urgent need of preventive measures.
American Gas Light Association. Report of Committee on electrolysis.
173 p. Dr. 1906.
"This report is limited to the consideration of direct-current electricity, and
is, therefore, contingent upon future developments in the use of alternatingcurrent
electricity for traction purposes." Introductory note.
"Committee advances no new theories and can suggest no new remedies. It
avoids controversial treatment and deals solely with the indisputable facts
that have been developed by experience. To this end the Committee's
endeavor has been to establish authoritatively the universal state of the art
of electric traction with reference to electrolysis."
Report consists of five sections:—i. Theory of electrolytic corrosion; 2. Electrolysis
in America; 3. Electrolysis in Great Britain; 4. Electrolysis in Germany;
5. Summary and conclusions.
Barbillion, A. Forme du potentiel dans les rails servant au retour de
courant. 800 w. 1899. (In Eclairage electrique, v.21, p.94.)
Theoretical, using calculus.
Bates, Putnam A. Guarding against electrolysis of underground pipes.
3,300 w. 1906. (In Engineering record, v.54, p.122.)
Tests by author show that wrought iron or lead service pipes are more susceptible
than cast iron mains. Deals fully with cause and effect of stray
currents and briefly with methods of protection. Considers complete metallic
circuit to be the only satisfactory solution, but mentions several less efficient
remedies.
