Abstract
DURING the past five years, because of wartime restrictions, few additional mercury-arc rectifiers have been installed for railroad use. This period has been notable for intensive development and mass production of rectifiers for electrochemical industries where they have been operated to produce concentrations of current output greatly exceeding those required by railroad loads.
