          Application No. 09/113,925                                                  


               53. An apparatus for detecting corrosion in an                         
               electronically conducting metal substrate comprising:                  
                    (a)  a housing having an open end portion;                        
                    (b)  a solid polymer electrolyte membrane coupled                 
                    over the open end portion of the housing and                      
                    having a first exposed surface adapted to be                      
                    positionable in contact with a surface of the                     
                    substrate; and                                                    
                    (c)  a thin film electrode fixed to a second                      
                    surface of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane.                
               55. An apparatus for detecting corrosion in an                         
               electronically conducting metal substrate comprising:                  
                    (a)  a housing having an open end portion;                        
                    (b)  a solid polymer electrolyte membrane coupled                 
                    over the open end portion of the housing and                      
                    having a first exposed surface adapted to be                      
                    positionable in contact with a surface of the                     
                    substrate; and                                                    
                    (c)  an electrode disposed in the housing; and                    
                    (d)  a biasing member disposed in the housing to                  
                    urge the electrode into contact with a second                     
                    surface of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane                 
                    and urge the solid electrolyte into contact with                  
                    the substrate.                                                    










                                         11
