 By Lord RAYLEIGH, FRS Received February 27, 1870. It has been known for many years that electricity has an extraordinary influence upon the behaviour of fine jets of water ascending in a nearly vertical direction. In its normal state a jet resolves itself...  Proceedings of the Royal Society of London - Page 388by Royal Society (Great Britain) - 1879Full view - About this book
