Abstract
Voltage-current relationships have been determined for platinum wires, gauze and disc and a platinum-clad tantalum disc, in sea water tests in the laboratory and in Boston harbor.The platinum-clad tantalum disc produced the best current-voltage ratio. In the range of 5 to 18 volts in the harbor tests, 2.0 amperes were obtained per impressed volt. The other anodes gave 1.3 amperes per impressed volt in the harbor tests. In the laboratory tests, the ratios obtained were 3.2, 3.1, 2.6, 2.2, and 2.1 amperes per volt for the platinum-clad tantalum disc, wire gauze, 48-inch wire spiral, 36-inch wire spiral and the flat disc, respectively. 5.2.3
