- Description: Charles Butler, 1864-1949, wrote letters to family members, mostly his children, between 1932 until his death in 1949. During these years travelling with his wife, visiting family members in Kroonstad, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Vryburg and also went on holiday trips. Their permanent address was 34 Dundas Street, Cradock, where they lived until the death of his wife, Mary Emma Butler, 1862-1947, who died in 1947. He then moved and stayed with his daughter Grace and her family in Kroonstad, 47 Reitz Street. During this time Charles and Grace visited relatives in Vryburg, Cape Province. Towards the end of 1948 when Charles's health deteriorated they stayed with family in Uitenhage to be close to the doctors and hospital. Charles Butler was buried in Cradock with his wife.

The anodic oxidation of calcium lactate : an estimation of the products of electrolysis and an investigation into some of the problems involved
- Authors: Impey, Norman Robert Murray
- Date: 1949

- Description: The subject of this thesis was chosen originally as a result of a suggestion made by a manufacturer of lactic acid. Lactic acid is made by a fermentation process from molasses and the acid is extracted from the fermentation liquors as calcium lactate. The conversion of the calcium lactate back to lactic acid is a tedious process from an industrial point of view. It was therefore suggested that the conversion may be more easily accomplished by electrolysis. The first experimental work was conducted with this object in view, but it soon became apparent that it was unlikely that lactic acid could be produced in suitable quantities for industrial purposes by this means. There was no reference in the literature to the electrolysis of calcium lactate, and little reference to the electrolysis of lactates in general, and what there was appeared to be conflicting, so it was decided to continue the investigation into the subject in order to determine what are the products of the anodic oxidation of calcium lactate.

The construction of a precision conductance bridge and its application to a study of chromium sulphate complexes

- Description: A constant temperature room employing the comparatively new method of temperature control by means of a thyratron relay has been constructed. A high precision conductance bridge has been built in a very convenient form. Improvements include the incorporation of a cathode ray oscilloscope as null detector and the inclusion of a very stable oscillator of the phase shift type which is capable of giving a very pure wave form. Tests carried out on a system of degenerative tuning showed the the system is not easily applicable to high gain amplifiers. A new form of conductometric titration cell, employing the dipping type electrodes has been designed with special precautions against possible Parker Effect. A series of tests has been carried out on three types of cell to ascertain the effects of absorption, polarisation and Parker Effect on the accuracy of an ordinary conductometric titration. Conductometric titrations of NaOH solutions of violet and green chromic sulphate has been carried out, and the effect of aging these solutions closely studied. In addition, conductometric titrations of BaCL₂ into the chromic solutions have been made, and the NaOH titrations have been studied potentiometrically as well.
