Discussion at Pacific Coast convention: The space charge that surrounds a conductor in corona at 60 cycles

H. E. Mendenhall: I should like to ask Mr. Carroll one question. Two years ago, Professor Sorenson discussed Doctor Ryan's paper and he had a theory that this corona loss might be caused by the positive ions not traveling as far as the negative ions. I should like to ask if they were able to determine whether or not the space charge is out further when it is negative than it is when positive?
