Abstract :
Electrostatic discharge between two charged insulator disks facing their charged surfaces has been observed with a photographic camera. The pictures of the discharge light have shown a combination of a long but narrow streak passing on the negatively charged surface of the disk, a short streak on the positively charged surface, and a bridging streak between two disks
