PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE ON HIGH PERVEANCE CATHODE-RAY TUBES
Abstract
The Focus Reflex Modulation (FRM) principle in electron-gun design has demonstrated a capacity for low-level modulation that makes the concept useful for transistorized display equipment. The FRM development program was based on theoretical electron-optics work and laboratory-produced models. The techniques used in the manufacture of these models were very exacting so that corre spondence between theory and measured results could be achieved. This required precisely machined parts incorporating designs based on complex mathematical relationships. The logical steps toward providing manufacturing capability of focus reflex modulation cathode-ray tubes would be as follows: (1) establish tube designs that would be suitable for quantity production and would meet Signal Corps specifications; (2) establish a limited manufacturing facility ca pable of producing two-hundred-total focus reflex modulation tubes per month on a single-shift basis; (3) train unskilled or semiskilled direct labor operators to perform the process work; and (4) test the productivity and quality control with a pilot run.
