ulk of the gas passing tlirough the gap could not be heated more than 15^ or 20° C. en route, while if the air blast were shut off enth^ely the tempera- ture of the gas m the gap would rise more than 100°, depending upon the temperature of the furnace and hot electrode. \^)ltage could be appHed to… … Fig. I. Esperimetital arrangeraettt of hot electrode gap. secondary voltage were very closely proportional to the mean value of the primary current, which could be read on a D. C. ammeter in the primary circuit. The results obtained with this source of voltage could be directly compared with those…
