Discussion on “the corona voltmeter” (Whitehead-Pullen), Cleveland, Ohio, June 29, 1916. (see proceedings for June, 1916)

L. W. Chubb: Dr. Whitehead´s paper brings before us a new standard voltmeter which I think, if all the irregularities can be taken out of it, should displace the sphere gap as the primary standard. There is some doubt as to the practicability of the scheme for a working or secondary standard.
