THE INVESTIGATION of the influence of electrodes on breakdown in gases was prompted by the steadily increasing importance of gases at high pressure as the principal insulating medium for high-voltage apparatus. Particularly for Van de Graaff electrostatic generators and other direct forms of particle accelerators compressed-gas insulation has become essential to the attainment of high-energy particles in a compact and economic design.¹ It is likely that high-pressure gas insulation will gradually invade the realm of high-power engineering where high-voltage cables and transformers are the most obvious immediate applications.
