| Creator | Fawcett; P G (fl 1894) |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | Fawcett writes: 'The experiments described in this paper were undertaken at Professor [Joseph John] Thomson’s suggestion, and have been carried out with the advantage of his advice and help. The immediate object of the experiments was to determine the electromotive force required to produce a spark between two flat parallel metal plates in a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen in different proportions and at different pressures.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes nine diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
