| -2- Extract from a further report. The maximum regular spark gap obtainable with a leakage of about 1.0 megohm across it was in all cases 2.0 mms. Using the terminals of the slate slab employed for the leakage test, an equally good spark (6.5 mm) could be obtained with .30 mf. as with .20 mf. on bhe distributor. RJA. | ||
