Abstract :
Combined photographic-oscillographic studies of lightning strokes to the 1,250-foot Empire State Building in New York City during the past several seasons, have confirmed some previous ideas pertaining to the nature and mechanism of the lightning discharge and have provided additional information enabling a more complete picture of this phenomenon to be drawn.
