Abstract
MOST lecture experiments on the conductivities of metals occupy too much time to be very effective, and in addition are often somewhat uncertain in their action. The following arrangement may be very quickly and simply put together, and by its aid the relative conductivities of a number of metals may be quantitatively determined in an interval of about a minute, the essential parts of the apparatus being capable of projection on a screen.
