| Title | Paper, 'On the potential difference required to produce a spark between two parallel plates in air at different pressures' by J B Peace |
| Date | 1892 |
| Description | Peace writes: 'The following is an account of an investigation into the relations between potential difference, spark-length, and pressure when discharge takes place between two parallel plates in air. The investigation was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor J J Thomson, and has been carried out in the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes eight pages of diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
