Abstract
Hutson has recently observed a non-Maxwellian distribution of thermionic emission from various crystallographic directions of a tungsten single crystal. It is suggested that the true distribution is Maxwellian, and that the observed distribution is due to an analyzer resolution of 0.24 volt. Factors which might affect resolution are discussed, and Hutson's numerical results are recalculated on the basis of this explanation.Keywords
