Abstract
"Work on the distribution of charge and of electric fields in gas discharge tubes has been carried on along various lines since about 1880, three principal methods of experiment being followed, viz: the probe method, cathode ray deflection, and the measurement of the separation of spectral lines in Stark effect photographs. The earliest measurements were made by Hittorf 1; Graham 2, Herz 3, H.A. Wilson 4, and others, all of whom used the probe method. This consisted in placing a wire at various points along the line of discharge, observations of the potential difference between the wire and one electrode giving the distribution of potential throughout the tube. ..."--
