First sentence: THOSE who take what I may call a metallic view of the Volta contact-force are accustomed to deny that the Peltier evolution of heat measures the local E.M.F. existing at a junction; they assert instead that it measures the rate at which that same E.M.F. varies with temperature:- II=TdE/dT.
