| Date | 1888 |
| Description | Preece writes: 'I have taken a great deal of pains to verify the dimensions of the currents, as detailed in my paper read on December 22,1887 [see PP/11/14], required to fuse different wires of such thicknesses that the law C = ad3/2 is strictly followed; and I submit the following as the final values of the constant “a” for the different metals'.
