Extract

A very great deal has been published upon the subject of the electrical counter and its mode of action. Most explanations are incomplete in that they neglect some of the factors involved. The question of the self-restoring property of the system has also received attention, but this property has not been properly related to the general problem of intermittency in discharge tubes.
