This paper surveys the characteristics of threshold switching systems and examines the evidence for threshold switching as an electronic process. A semiquantitative model is proposed for the nature of the ON---state. The OFF---ON transition is also discussed in the light of recent experimentation, as are the principal aspects of the problem still in need of furthur clarification.
