Abstract
THE recent paper by Garton and Krasucki1 is of considerable interest and reminded me of some of the work I undertook about five years ago2. I observed a similar phenomenon under different conditions. This brief note is to bring to notice some of my results obtained at that time, which serve as further evidence that gas bubbles and liquid drops always tend to elongate in the direction of the applied field in an insulating liquid, irrespective of whether the permittivity of the bubble or drop is larger or smaller than that of the surrounding liquid.
