editWhat does the line
- From: Chemistry for Changing Times by John W. Hill, Burgess Publishing Company, 1972
mean?
Is it copy from that book?
Context?
editAnyone 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?
editThe 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)
