Résumé :
Excerpt from Some Electro-Chemical Centres: A Report to the Electors of the Gartside Scholarships

The following report is based principally on information acquired during visits to several countries on the Continent of Europe and to the United States and Canada, including British Columbia, during the years 1907 and 1908.

Though the electro-chemical industry is developing rapidly in many directions, the various works in this field are yet comparatively few in number and, are located in widely scattered centres. For this reason, a comprehensive survey of the subject is made rather difficult. Moreover, the majority of electro-chemical works are still in a more or less experimental state, and the details of the processes are usually held in strict secrecy so that admittance is, in many cases, very difficult and often quite impossible to obtain by out siders.

The developments of this industry, however, are well recorded in several important publications, the chief journal of this kind being the Electro - chemical and Metallurgical Industry (new York).

In the compiling of this report I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr. R. S. Hutton for his kind assistance throughout and for furnishing me with valuable introductions in the United States to the leading people of academic and industrial electro chemistry, who gave me much information and kindly extended several opportunities for inspecting works. In this connection, I have specially to thank Prof. J. W. Richards, Prof. W. D. Bancroft, Prof. S. A. Tucker, Mr. E. R. Taylor, Dr. E. F. Roeber, Dr. H. N. Potter, Mr. T. A. Edison, Mr. E. A. Sperry, and Mr. G. C.
