| Creator | Sankey; H R (fl 1889) |

| Description | Sankey observes during the course of his experiments on the electrolytic deposition of copper that the resistance of the electrolytic cells employed is greater the lower the current density, and the experiments described in this paper are undertaken to inquire more definitely into the matter.
Annotations in pencil throughout. Includes three figures of Sankey's experimental apparatus and a series of tables and graphs.
