Abstract
IF a condenser, charged to a few hundred volts, is connected directly across a small two-electrode tube containing rarefied gas, and a discharge initiated by applying a high-tension triggering pulse near the cathode, the condenser will be discharged in a few microseconds. The discharge is a form of arc, since a 'cathode spot' is necessary to supply the very high currents (a thousand amperes or more) needed to do this, and the applied potential is lower than that associated with glow or spark discharges.
