Abstract
A NUMBER of investigators1,2 in the field of negative point-to-plane corona have reported on the unsteady nature of the discharge at high values of gap voltages. Reference has been made to the movement of the active-spot about the point, and the formation of ‘plural spots’. I have found that, with certain gap geometries, a new mode of discharge can be observed.
