A discussion of the detroit committee on electrolysis

The Detroit Committee on Electrolysis is a voluntary organization of companies and municipal departments constituted for finding the best engineering solution to the electrolysis and corrosion problems confronting its members. There are over 25 cities and areas in the United States and Canada which have active electrolysis committees including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Southern Ontario, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Omaha, Des Moines, Louisville, Miami, and, of course, many others. The Detroit Committee has been chosen as the subject of this paper not only because it is typical of such committees, but also because it has had a long and outstanding history.
