Tom, are you saying Terman was lying in the 1st edition of his handbook? I 
don't need to re-write anything, I have it here in print. I have a question, 
how can an element being bombarded by or gaining electrons be positive (over 0 
V, +0.1 volt DC or greater)? Is Termans satements about equilibrium hog wash?

Best,

Will
