oscillations have been obtained during the recombination period following a pulsed radio frequency or d.c. discharge in helium mixed with either neon or carbon dioxide at wavelengths of 1 .153r and 1.069~ respectively. The optimum gas pressure for the neon mixtures were 1 torr and 7 x 1O-2 torr respectively and slightly higher for the carbon The authors concluded that dioxide (2 torr and 8 x 1OW torr). the oscillations are produced by a dissociative mechanism and not by direct electron excitation.

The theory on which vacuum drying is based is discussed by considering the various modes of heat transfer and movement of moisture in the matter to be dried. The present state of the art is illustrated by means of a number of typical examples. (in German) (Author, modified) F. Kneule, Vakuum-Tech&, 11 (4), May 1962, 115-121. 36 : 54 561.

The article deals mainly with the problems underlying the freeze drying of delicate pharmaceutical products. The freezing of pure water is first discussed and the extraordinary differences in size and shape of ice crystals depending on rate of cooling and lowest temperature reached are pointed out. In the case of solutions, matters are much more complicated due to the formation of eutectics. In many cases the physical state of such mixtures will depend on their thermal history and also on whether a certain state has been reached by heating or cooling the system. Matters can be clarified by taking continuous records of both temperature and electrical resistance of the solution during freezing and thawing. Such exploratory investigations should be carried out on any product before freeze drying is attempted. The author shows how such temperature and resistance records are also useful in controlling the drying process and give warning of any accidental lignefaction in the interior of the material. It is this difficulty of control which limits the freeze drying process at the moment to relatively thin sheets. There is also still some doubt whether the final product should be vacuum packed or sealed under an atmosphere of nitrogen. W. J. S. L. R. Rey, Le Vide, 17 (98), March/April
