  • Abstract
    A digest of the papers on dielectric breakdown published in 1946–47 is given in Volume X of this series under the subtitle “High Voltage Phenomena”1. At a symposium on dielectrics held in 1946 at Bristol University by the Faraday Society, Prof. A. von Hippel contributed a paper summarizing the results of previous work on dielectric breakdown in solids, and indicating the nature of existing problems2. The following paragraphs are concerned essentially with the contributions to this subject published in 1947, but it will be convenient to describe the background very briefly.
