Discussion on “simplification of electrothermal calculations: The watt and thermal ohm” (Hering), Boston, Mass., June 25, 1912. (see proceedings for June, 1912)

H. B. Gale: I think the new unit proposed in this paper is a very practicable and useful one, and I hope it will become adopted as one of the new tools of the profession. I have spent a great deal of my time in the last few years in making calculations on electric heating, and have found it necessary to work out a table of constants for calculating watts transmitted by different substances per degree difference of temperature, and I am very much obliged to Dr. Hering for giving me a name for the constants of my table.
