Hi Wayne,
The 9 Microamps per square millimeter was a figure that related to the total
surface area of the anode. The discussion went on when most of us were using
Canadian Maple Leaf coins for anodes as they were the only available source of
9999 pure silver at the time. They had a diameter of 30 odd mm so if you use
both sides and the edge you would end up at around 2 milliamps.

my brain but I can't remember how we arrived at that. Has anyone kept a record
of these postings?
Few of us have all the messages. I have many thousands. If you have a
subject line, or a unique phrase, I can find them in short order.
And there are a few techies left. But few of us have a micro amp meter.
I would hope you have milliamps and micro amps mixed up.
I could likely rig a micro amp measurement using some of my $100 digital
panel meters if I thought it to be that important.
You can make excellent CS and never measure micro amps. Few people even
measure milliamps.
How much are you measuring at the present?
Wayne
