Gas Tubes

Paperback. Book Condition: Very Good. John F. Rider Publisher, New York, NY 1958. First Edition. 1st Printing. 72 pages. Nice Firm Clean copy ! Size: 8vo 7.75 - 9.75'' tall. 'When a gas or vapor is admitted into a tube, the characteristics of the tube are markedly changed from the high-vacuum state. These radical differences have been used successfully by the electronics designer to permit the development of many fundamental gas-tube types for literally hundreds of industrial applications. For example, one member of the gas tube family, control-electrode rectifiers known as thyratrons, electronically serve almost every industry. Because they are available in a wide range of ratings, thy- ratrons may be used in circuits ranging from the control of large power amounts at lower voltages (in welding and motor control) to the sorting, grading and counting of merchandise. The thyratron may serve as a rectifier (ac to dc) , as an inverter (dc to ac) , as an electronic switcher or contactor to open and close circuits rapidly, or as control tubes. Since this is only one type of gaseous tube, the importance of understanding the basic theory pertaining to gas tubes is evident.' Electronics Science/Nature::Physics Engineering 5971
