Thanks for the post, Michael.

The book was published in 1933.


The selenium rectifier was also invented in 1933 by C.E.Fitts.

The electrolytic rectifier must have been a lab experiment that never
got off the ground. I never heard of one.


So, just because you've never heard of it, it was never used? What
an over inflated ego.



Mercury-Arc rectifiers were used from 1909 to 1975.
SCR's were invented in 1957.
