Summary

Description
English: Photo of RF streamers emanating from the terminal of a high voltage spark-gap radio transmitter, created by running the wire through a piece of film. From the text: "It is very easy to detect the electric lines which emanate from every part of such a wire when a spark jumps between the terminals of the coil. All that is necessary to do is to pass the wire through a sensitive film and develop the film. The accompanying photograph was taken at the top of such a wire by means of a very powerful apparatus at my command"
