(under subclass 260) Systems wherein the electrical discharge device is connected to an alternating current supply circuit so that two of the electrodes (such as the anodes) have impressed thereon, alternately, a positive and negative potential, one of these electrodes being positive when the other is negative, and having the electrode (such as the cathode) which cooperates with these electrodes (anodes) connected to a point in the circuit which has a potential intermediate that of the alternating potential impressed on the first mentioned electrodes so that a discharge is established between an anode and a cathode on each half of the alternating current wave.
(1) Note. The discharge device may have two cathodes and an anode with the discharge alternating between the anode and different cathodes.
