Discussion on “the effect of high continuous voltages on air, oil and solid insulations” (Peek), Cleveland, Ohio, June 29, 1916. (see proceedings for June, 1916)

John B. Whitehead: We have again to acknowledge our debt to Mr. Peek for a most valuable contribution to our knowledge of the electric strength of air, and now also that of liquid and solid insulation. Referring to Mr. Peek´s observations on the comparison of alternating and continuous voltage at which corona appears, I have recently been conducting, in conjunction with Mr. W. S. Brown, a series of similar experiments. The results of these experiments show some variation from those obtained by Mr. Peek.
