Extract

Measurements of the saturation currents produced between two parallel plates by a source of radium C of carefully tested purity have been performed by an accurate galvanometer method. From the results a transformation constant

has been assigned to radium C corresponding to a half-value period of 19·72±·04 minutes.

Similar measurements with radium active deposit have enabled a value to be estimated for the period of radium B between 26·7 and 26·8 minutes, which is the limit of accuracy of the experimental data.
