An account of experiments on detonation in gaseous mixtures of acetylene and pentane has already been published. Certain further observations are here recorded as an addendum to the former papers.(a) Influence of Pressure on Velocity of Detonation . It was mentioned on p. 157 of the second paper referred to, that further measurements of the velocities of the detonation waves set up in the explosive mixtures investigated were necessary to determine the precise extent of the increase in velocity occasioned by rise of initial pressure.
