Abstract
I HAVE recently developed a method of generating anode rays of high velocity which is much more suitable to mass-spectrum analysis than the hot anode method previously applied. By means of this device it is possible to obtain the mass-lines of the metals of the lithium and beryllium groups at the same time as those of such elements as carbon and chlorine, the masses of which are known.
