         : : : Come on, surely you can do better than say that this
: : : noise trace was squigglier than that one.

: : : The absolute Ecorr's in Figs 3 - 5 seem a bit high
: : : for galvanised steel, then again there isn't much zinc
: : : left judging by the photos.

: : : What surface area did you use for the Rp calculations
: : : - or are these for the whole of the leg in question ?

: : SECOND QUESTION FIRST, WE DIDNīT CONSIDER A SURFACE
: : AREA FOR CALCULATIONS,WE ASSUME THE SAME AREA SINCE
: : ALL TOWER LEGS WERE OF THE SAME DESIGN. THE CURRENTS
: : SHOWN ARE ABSOLUTE AND NOT CURRENT DENSITIES.

: : THE OTHER QUESTION THE NOISE TRACES IN FIGURES 3 AND 5
: : CAN BE COMPARED SINCE THE SCALE IS OF THE SAME AMPLITUDE.
: : THERE APPEAR CERTAIN QUALITY DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACES.
: : NEVERTHELESS THE NOBLE POTENTIALS ARE ASSOCIATED TO THE
: : PRESENCE BASICALLY OF STEEL WITH NO GALVANIZED (AFTER
: : WARDS CORRELATED AFTER EXCAVATION).POTENTIALS MORE NEGATIVE
: : THAN -900 MV RELATES TO ZINC ACTIVITY. BIUT THE TROUBLE
: : STARTS WITH POTENTIALS BETWEEN -500 AND -800 WERE IS NOT
: : CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE EITHER CORROSION ACTIVITY OF STEEL
: : OR YOU CONTINUE WITH A CERTAIN CP PROTECTION OF ZINC 
: : (ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE 4).THIS PRELIMINARY FIELD TRIALS
: : WERE MADE IN ORDER TO TRY TO ESTABLISH CERTAIN CRITERIA
: : FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. MUCH WORK IS NEEDED UNDER CONTROLLED
: : LABORATORY CONDITIONS TO SEEIF THOSE SQUIGGLY LINES REALLY
: : RELATE TO THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED(ZINC, GALVANIC,
: : AND STEEL ACTIVITY).
