1904, Elektrotechnische Bibliothek, page 125:... Geitner in Aue in Sachsen und Isabellenhütte in Bonn befassen sich speziell mit der Herstellung solcher Drahtmaterialien. Der Widerstand von Rheotan und Nickelin ist ungefähr 30mal so groß wie der des Kupfers.- Geitner in Aue in Sachsen and Isabellenhütte in Bonn are specifically concerned with the production of such wire materials. The resistance of rheotan and nickelin is approximately 30 times greater than that of copper.
