Abstract
A newly designed sliding spark source is described. The source has a broad spectral range whose lower end overlaps the X-ray range below 200 Å. It permits both photographic and photoelectric recording of the spectrum using various electrodes. A marked effect of electrode material atomized onto the dielectric plate on source operation is indicated. The source is of simple design and can operate several hours without electrode replacement. It is suitable for various types of spectroscopic investigations.
