| Title | Manuscript, 'On some voltaic combinations with a fused electrolyte and a gaseous depolariser' by Joseph Wilson Swan |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | Swan writes: 'It is well known that fused salts behave in many respects like electrolytes in solution, and that voltaic combinations analogous to well-known voltaic cells may be formed with fused electrolytes. The experiments of Brownf have recently illustrated this subject in relation to the Daniell type of cell. For various reasons it appeared to the writer desirable to ascertain the behaviour of a cell with fused electrolyte and a gaseous depolariser, and corresponding in this last particular to the Upward cell.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes six diagrams of experimental apparatus.
