Editorial discussion of part of paper before Manchester Association of Engineers indexed under heading of Railroad Electrification, in which author's claim that position of high voltage d-c traction has been considerably strengthened by development of mercury arc rectifier; it is believed their main function will always be to convert a-c to d-c, but where 16 2/3-cycle traction current is needed, they may eventually displace rotary frequency changers.
