  • Abstract
    A welding rectifier embodying the “ignitron” principle, a recent development in a program of research on mercury arc rectifiers, provides predetermined welding currents for periods of time variable in steps of 1/120 sec, or less if desired. This paper describes the design and operation of the “ignitron” and illustrates its applicability to the problems involved in line welding processes.
