| Title | Diagram, experimental equipment by Thomas Andrews |
| Date | 1892 |
| Description | A diagram, labelled figure 1, illustrating a stage of Andrews' experiment into the electro-chemical effects on magnetising iron: 'For every set of experiments one of the steel bars was magnetised, the other being retained in its unmagnetised state. The bars were each weighed on the balance, and afterwards each bar was immersed, in an equal quantity of cupric chloride solution, in separate beakers, a considerable distance apart (see fig. 1); the two beakers were of the same diameter and fluid capacity; the bars were placed in the beakers'. Includes notes to the engraver.
Subject: Metallurgy / Magnetism
A print of this diagram was published in volume 52 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society alongside the paper 'Electro-chemical effects on magnetising iron. Part IV'. |
