First experiments with the arrangement described in part I of this paper resulted in three spurious effects: shifting of characteristic values due to ageing effects, dissymmetric behaviour of wall charges and currents with respect to the voltage pulse sign, and backfiring. The comparison between the direct and the indirect methods demonstrated the sensitivity of the indirect ones to uncertainties and variations in effective cell capacities. The wall charge density distributions are axially symmetric and can be described in the electrode range by ƒ ( x ) = a e − bx 2.
