Anharmonic Oscillations in Electrical Potential at Probe Electrodes in Membrane Transport Cells

Abstract

IT appears to me that the explanation given by Prof. Lorimer and Brydges is a reasonable interpretation of the results which they obtained with their experimental system. They show that a system incorporating ion-exchange membranes may be subject to oscillations for reasons not associated with the membrane itself. Their reasoning, however, cannot be related to general systems of this type, and certainly not the experimental set-up which I used in my experiments, the results of which were reported in my communication1.
