(under subclass 246) Systems wherein the load device in the system is a discharge device having the electrodes formed of conductive rods or wires which are arranged in physical parallel relation with respect to each other and having the source of supply designed to impress voltage waves upon the electrode system so that an electric discharge is established between the electrodes at the antinodes of the potential wave, the system being provided with means to cause the antinodes of potential, and therefore the electric discharge, to traverse the electrodes along their length.
(1) Note. This type of system is used for developing a scanning ray for television purposes.

345, for systems under the class definition wherein the discharge device is provided with parallel mounted rod or wire like electrodes, and an electromagnet is used to cause the discharge to traverse the electrodes along their length.
