Jones' point about ANY exposure to H is acknowledged...
That being said, does anyone know the exact procedure by which the material
in the control cell was prepared and the cell assembled??? Obviously, the
nichrome wire was shipped to them, but was it exposed to air (humid air will
supply plenty of H)? How were the cells assembled?? I can't imagine that
they were somehow assembled in a vacuum; perhaps in an inert gaseous
environment??
The cells have *not* been assembled in a vacuum or in an inert gaseous
environment as far as I know. They have all been calibrated with a
vacuum applied for long periods of time, however. This one was the only
first run alongside the "activated" cells, not the first run ever.
