✦ Synopsis
Different types of oxygen diffusion cathodes have been tested to determine whether cathodic polarization of the electrodes at negative potentials has an influence on their further catalytic activity for oxygen ionization, and whether under these conditions potassium from the KOH solution penetrates into the silver catalyst.
The results show that even if these electrodes were kept in the hydrogen evolution potential range for a long time, there were no changes in the catalytic activity of the silver in oxygen gas electrodes. No evidence of potassium penetration into the silver catalyst was found.

## Abstract An apparatus has been designed and a procedure adopted for studing the oxygen index of materials over a range of pressures. It has been found that the oxygen index falls with increase in pressure so that materials become more flammable, the effect being more marked with the less flammab
