Abstract :
WHEN a new device is developed, it is usually adopted and proved by a particular industry. In the case of the ignitron rectifier, the first applications were in transportation service in mines and railways. The apparatus and its performance in these early installations were discussed by the present authors in an earlier Institute paper.1
