Decompcsition potentials End overvoltages have been measured in two ways. The one called the direct method and the other the indirect or the commutator method. The former was first suggested by Fuchs? in 1875 and has since been extensively employed by others.3 The latter or the indirect method with rotating conmiitator was first used by LeBlancl and has lately lieen used by Sevbery.a The results obtained by thc two methods are not in very close agreement and hence a controversy has arisen between the adherents of the two methods. I t has honever. been definitely shown by Ferguson and T’an Zy16 and I
