Whether this was the case depended on suitable experimental tests based on higher precision conductance data than ever before and a reliable numerical method for extracting the physical parameters from the data. With typical energy and planning Fuoss and his students constructed a conductance laboratory where measurements with a relative precision of 0.01% were routine.
