Abstract: Experiments are described to investigate the sources of error which occur in plotting tanks. The effects due to a.c. polarization were measured in a test cell. Other errors due to misalinement and surface tension (meniscus) were investigated by means of a special experimental tank consisting of two concentric cylinders. Potentials in this differed by not more than 0.2% from the calculated potentials at any given point on the surface, provided the necessary precautions were taken. It appears possible, but difficult, to reduce this figure of 0.2%. An inferior figure can be expected for the more usual type of test apparatus.
