Abstract
WE have recently completed an investigation of the spectra of moving striations in the positive column of some glow discharges. Briefly, the method consists in forming an image of the positive column along the slit of a spectrograph, and covering and uncovering the latter by a mechanical shutter made synchronous with the moving striations by a photoelectric device. This arrangement gives spectra, the individual lines of which show a longitudinal variation of intensity corresponding to the bright and dark sections of the striations.
