Abstract
In routine spectrometry by photoelectric response there is no call for the old type of arc or spark line sources except as standards of wavelength, to be used solely for purposes of calibration. A strong continuous emission spectrum with as little as possible variation along its length, and as small as possible fluctuations in intensity with time, simplifies both design and operation. Existing commercial sources are therefore contrived to achieve these ends.
