Abstract
The avoidance of the ``total‐voltage effect'' in acceleration tubes, by the use of plane electrodes with their normal inclined to the tube axis, is described. This inclined‐field structure serves to sweep nonbeam charged particles out of the acceleration region soon after their formation and to reduce the probability of regenerative multiplication. A summary is presented of experiments which illustrate the major properties of this type of tube.
