He found that the splash rays differ from the primary rays in penetrative power. Up to a certain point the showers were more frequent as the thickness of the lead sheet was increased; the maximum shower production was observed in lead of such thickness that it weighed 20 grams per square centimetre. Beyond this thickness the number...
