1. A method of measuring the rate of conduction of nerve by means of a single recording of a diphasic action current was described. The material was wanted to be long enough, so as the electrode distance could be larger than the “Aktionslänge.”
2. Six types were found to appear in the configuration of the action current thus recorded, yet the right estimation of the velocity seemed possible, if the starting point of the deflection due to the excitation under the distal electrode, was properly determined.
3. A few notes as to the application of the method was described.
