RECENT measurements of Townsend ionization coefficients by Prasad and Craggs1 in these laboratories have revealed large variations in the values obtained for the secondary ionization coefficient γ in discharge gaps in air containing water vapour. For example, in humid air at a total pressure of 150 mm, mercury with a partial pressure of 15 mm. mercury of water vapour, its value for a `Dural' cathode is 7.5 × 10-8 at E/p = 45 V./cm./mm. mercury as compared with a value of 2.3 × 10-8 in dry air at the same total pressure and electric field.
