What does the line

From: Chemistry for Changing Times by John W. Hill, Burgess Publishing Company, 1972

mean?

Is it copy from that book?

Context?

[edit]

Anyone want to tell us what they are? OK, they're (various) positive ions but this historical snippet needs to be contextualised by someone with a knowledge of the history of the subject.

What about Gehrcke?

[edit]

The article Ernst Gehrcke says without qualification the "he discovered anode rays". I do not dispute this because I have not a clue about the matter, but it sits uncomfortably with the article "Anode Rays", which does not mention Gehrcke, but refers to Goldstein, Wein, and even J.J.Thompson. I would contribute, but it is so far out of my field that it would take too long to be worth while. JonRichfield (talk) 18:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
