Abstract
IN some recent experiments on the volt-ampere characteristics of low-tension discharge tubes, I utilised an “Osglim” lamp of the “beehive” variety, sealing it on to an apparatus so that air at different pressures could be introduced. (The lamp consists of an iron disc anode and a spiral cathode of thick iron wire, wound above the anode.)
