| Title | Manuscript, 'Measurements of the absolute specific resistance of pure electrolytic copper' by Joseph Wilson Swan and J Rhodin |
| Creator | Rhodin; J (fl 1894) |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | The authors write: 'At the beginning of 1893 it was resolved to make some very careful measurements of the specific resistance of pure electrolytic copper, drawn into wire without previous fusion. Researches made during the latter end of 1892 had shown that the specific resistance of electrolytic copper varies considerably.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes four diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
