Bearing on the claims: - US1232467 "Spark-gap" (filed Aug 1915) is contemporary with Peek's 1915 impulse tests and the sphere-gap paper (1914); it may bear on claims 4-5 (sphere gaps as impulse voltmeters; time lag). The 1918 "Protective device" family and the lightning arresters bear on claim 5 (impulse behaviour). US1041340 "Apparatus for producing a gaseous reaction" (1911) may use corona discharge (e.g. ozone or nitrogen fixation); unknown until read. - The 1925-1928 "Electric discharge device" patents and CA275641 are candidates for Peek's lightning-generator or impulse apparatus; unknown until read. - Family search (Espacenet) for foreign members was not reached.
