This research makes use of a direct measurement of the time required for an electron to move from one point to another under the action of a high-voltage field. The electric field was obtained by the use of the 100,000-volt storage battery belonging to the laboratory and the timing of the electron was accomplished by a short wave oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator...
