General Electric had a 10 MEV impulse generator in operation at the 1939
World's Fair. One machine was plus 5 MEV and the second was minus 5 MEV --
reported spark length was 60 ft between the two units (at least in the
photo I saw). This was in the GE building -- perhaps it was called the
Russian Pavilion?
