Abstract
The effects of current and external circuit conditions on the frequency of travelling striations were observed. Some information concerning the voltage fluctuations at different parts of the tube was obtained. Electron temperatures in the positive column were determined at different pressures. A set of wave-lengths bearing simple relations with the length of the tube were calculated by means of Tonks' and Langmuir's theory of electric sound waves and the experimental values of the flash frequency.Keywords
