 The method of testing was devel- oped in the Dodge Brothers labora- tories.
 The process of determining the ''un- desirable clements" is similar to the ordinary electroplating. The brass or bronze under test is dissolved in acid and into this solution are placed two electrodes, consisting of platinum gauges. A direct current is applied and the resultant electrolytic action
