Abstract
THE mechanical vacuum-tube regulator, in which the position of a movable glass sheath relatively to the kathode determines the speed of the kathode rays, mentioned in NATURE of June 19 (p. 415) as recently brought before the Cambridge Philosophical Society by Mr. R. Whiddington, is not new, Mr. J. C. M. Stanton, Mr. H. L. T. Wolff, and myself having, in 1898, devised a similar arrangement, which is described and illustrated in the discourse which I gave at the Royal Institution in that year.
