The platinum cup, C, which served asthe source of the electrons was surrounded by a copper cylinder D andelectrically connected with it. This system could be maintained atany desired potential through the electrode I. The platinum cup cm. in diameter and cm. deep; it was welled out of platinumfoil .01 mm. thick, and heated by means of the tungsten spirals watts through the spirals was sufficient to heat the upper surfaceof the cup to ^ very bright red color; at this temperature the elec- Q tron current emitted from i
