Abstract
This paper describes a fundamental principle of thermionic gas tube operation, by which cathode disintegration may be entirely avoided; and a new type of cathode which requires much less heat energy than any hitherto used. With these improvements hot cathode gas tubes appear to be practical, and their fundamental characteristics as lamps, rectifiers, and “thyratrons” are briefly described.Keywords
