A fieldplotting tank which has a negligible boundary error is described. A comparison between measurements made in this tank and a conventional tank shows graphically the effect of a finite boundary. It is shown that the field of two halfshells is identical to a source-sink field at remote points. The method of electrical images for solving boundary-value problems is presented.
