(under subclass 170) Discharge devices in which the auxiliary electrode is in contact with or is wholly or partially immersed in the liquid electrode.
(1) Note. This subclass includes discharge devices where the auxiliary electrode is encased in an insulating covering, the insulated electrode being wholly or partially immersed in the liquid electrode. Also included are discharge devices which have a starting electrode of the "ignition" type (e.g., an electrode of high resistance material) which is in contact with the liquid electrode.
