Abstract :
Attempts to initiate an arc cathode upon a cold electrode within a very short time interval and in a gas at low pressure resulted in the development of an unusual igniting device. The possible applications of this device are many and include the control of gas filled electronic tubes, eliminating many of the problems associated with the use of grids.
