Popis: In the course of the earth-resistivity surveys made as part of the program for earth-current investigations by the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, it has become evident that the method used is capable of locating and ascertaining the depth of various subsurface geological features. In the paper presented the general features of the method previously described elsewhere were briefly reviewed. The manner of adjusting and using the specially designed commutator so as to obtain measurements under steady current-conditions; that is, obtaining the potential measurements over a portion of the “square-wave” cycle well removed from the make and the break, was explained.
