Experiments in multiple-gap linear acceleration of electrons

Using a CV76 magnetron at a wave-length of 10.0 cm. (maximum power 500 kw.; power available for acceleration, 300 kw.), and a 3-stage single cavity, electrons were accelerated to a voltage of 0.85 Mev. The expected figure was approximately 1.1 Mev. The paper describes the R.F. work involved in obtaining the result.
