I am reading some old papers from around 1900, in German,
and several titles use the word "Reststrom", where would
now use "Strom", that is, current.
Does anyone here know why those authors used that word?
Why "Rest" (same meaning as the English "rest" or
"residual")?
Patterson's "German-English Dictionary for Chemists" gives "residual
current" for "reststrom"
