We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Irrespective of the system used, the light pick-up from the arc has usually been a cone of 120 degree opening which, according to Table III. would include approximately 75 per cent of the light from the positive crater. The light gathered by the reflector is focused on the aperture plate in the form (neglecting spherical aberration) of an image of the crater. The magnification of the system is approximately 6 to 1. Under these conditions it is theoretically correct that the optical system is saturated when a current of 21 amperes is used on the proper size carbon and the higher currents merely give more light to be absorbed or reflected from the aperture plate. It can be seen that this is plausible by a reconsideration of Fig. 1. In this figure, instead of projecting the crater face onto the aperture plate, the width of the aperture plate opening with the proper reduction for 6 to 1 magnification has been projected back onto the crater. The values of intrinsic brilliancy for the portions of the craters within the aperture plate width indicate that no more light could be expected to go through the aperture plate from a 13 mm. carbon at 44 amperes than from a
