Richard,

Think again about what you wrote. The "Faraday screen" is full of
openings between the wires of the picket fence. There is no evidence
that anything magnetic or electric penetrates the walls of the
conductors beyond a very shallow layer.

Terman certainly did not deny the existence of skin effect that keeps
the fields out of the interior of conductors.


Gene,

You might have to find a book that quotes the description of a screen
with parallel wires and large air gaps as compared to a wall or
cylinder several skin depths thick.
