The rate at which the potential of the central wire in a counter changes when a count takes place is considered. The electron collection-time is found to be between 1 and 3×{}10^-8 second. The subsequent variations in potential are controlled by the motion of the positive ions. Some experiments are reported, in which rises of 100 volts per microsecond were observed. The factors controlling fast counting are briefly discussed.
