  • Abstract
    Metallic rectifiers are a comparatively new means of converting power from alternating current to direct current. Most of the component apparatus used in the Telephone Systems operates with direct current while the normal power source is alternating current. Therefore a static device without expendable parts which is obtainable in small and large current capacity lends itself as a means for power conversion in telephone power plants.
