Some methods depended on measuring the total charge of a number of ions used as nuclei for cloud droplet formation. Other methods were more indirect: experiments, for example, which combined with the kinetic theory of gases, could give crude values for Avogadro's number, $N$$N$$e$$\approx 3\times10^{-10} \mathrm{esu}$$1 \times 10^{-19}$$ne$$e = 1.594(17) \times 10^{-19…
