Abstract
Useful electron and ion guns can be based on high voltage glow discharge: they show great promise as a precisely controllable heat source for processing materials. What follows is a slightly amended form of a paper prepared by Dr Dugdale for the Bulletin of the Materials Science Club after he had been awarded the annual Materials Science Club Prize.
