Extract

Experiments have been conducted by Gutton, and later by Kirchner, and by Gill and Donaldson upon electrical discharges through gases under the influence of high-frequency oscillations of the order of 107 cycles per second. It was found that the peak voltages required to maintain bright luminous discharges were of the order of 100 volts even when the pressure was as low as that in a soft X-ray tube. The present paper deals with some further studies of these phenomena.
