Abstract
DR. U. R. EVANS illustrates an experimental arrangement which enables him to investigate the electric currents flowing over an iron surface in contact with bicarbonate solution during the process of rusting. The results obtained show intense anodic action immediately around a scratch where rusting is rapid, while the cathodic areas are free from attack.
