Abstract
SOME time in the month of March this year, after working with various forms of tubes, it occurred to the writer to abolish the glass vessel by converting the ordinary concave kathode into a nearly complete sphere, with the platinum anode at its centre. A simple experiment with a Jackson bulb proved that the rays from the anode could pass through the material of the kathode as they would through a similar piece of un-electrified aluminium placed outside the bulb. Hence it became fairly evident at the outset that the proposed plan would work to some extent.
