DEVELOPMENT OF A FIVE-GUN DUAL-PURPOSE CATHODE-RAY TUBE
Abstract
Design details and fabrication problems of a five-gun dual-purpose cathode-ray tube are discussed. Major difficulties were encountered in glass fabrication and tube assembly which resulted from high internal stresses in the bulb. Techniques to overcome these difficulties included heat treatment to dead anneal and extreme care during fabrication. The final design provides improved performance over the 7YP- with regard to higher acceleration voltage, greater deflection sensitivity, and higher resolution. The new tube has the ability to operate in the AN/GLA-5 equipment without electrical retrofit. Final tube photographs, drawings, and specifications are included. (Author)
