Abstract
At the outset it should be stressed that the Josephson effect (1) is not necessarily a tunneling phenomenon but is the result of far more fundamental physical processes. It is true historically that tunnel junctions have been used to study this effect, but the tunneling is not essential to the phenomenon. Primarily, tunnel junctions have been used because this is the only physical situation for which detailed calculations of certain amplitude effects can be made.
