A platinum strip may replace to advantage an experimental black body, especially at temperatures above 1,500° C, and may conveniently serve as a luminous source for the comparison or calibration of optical pyrometers. It is the object of this paper to interpret the observations^ of Dr. Waidner and the author on the departure of platinum from blackbody radiation for red, green, and blue light, in terms of the now better known values of the higher temperatures involved, and as expressed by Wien's law as applied in a form first suggested by Lucas.* For a black body, Wien's law for the distribution of energy in the spectrum may be written","PeriodicalId":227231,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1905-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131442917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the original experiment the rectifying cell, the telephone, and a d'Arsonval galvanometer of moderate sensibility were connected in series. The lowest tone spoken into the telephone produced a deflection of the galvanometer, and a louder one drove it from the scale. Recently 1 have again taken the matter up, desiring, if possible, to find an explanation of the rectifying effect, and also to test the usefulness of the detector in the laboratory. To test the sensibility of the detector for alternating currents, a known alternating current was passed through a bridge wire of about 1 ohm resistance, and from this, by means of sliding contacts, various potential differences were applied to the detector (see fig. 1). A form of key was used which kept the detector circuit short-circuited Fig. 1.—Connections for detector (form 1) .","PeriodicalId":227231,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1905-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132299192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need of a definite and universal system of electrical units was early recognized, and became a necessity as soon as industrial applications of electricity were made. At first the principal measurements were those of resistance (line resistance, insulation resistance, measurements for the location of faults, etc.). These were expressed in terms of some entirely arbitrary standard, such as the resistance of a given length of an iron or copper wire of given cross section.
