Hi Dan.  Thanks for that information.  I was using (and have been, for years) a 
term that is used in my CS manual for describing the process by which silver 
particles leave the electrodes.  Oddly enough -- when I Googled it, they didn't 
even have that word spelled that way.  They have he word *sinter* -- and it 
does 
have a different meaning, you're right.  I will check a dictionary as well.

So -- OK -- large particles of silver aren't disseminated (howzat?) from the 
electrodes *as* large particles, but the rapid dissemination results in 
agglomeration which becomes large particles.  Right?
