Unsatisfactory Performance of Type 38266 Rectifier Tubes in Model GI Equipment

Abstract

This investigation was carried out to determine the reason for a condition of receiver interference in the key position of the Model GI equipment when Type 38266 high vacuum tubes were substituted for Type 38166 mercury vapor tubes in the rectifier. The interference was found to be due to failure of the oscillator t stop oscillating since a small anode potential was supplied by the high vacuum rectifiers from the filament supply. A simple modification to the equipment effectively blocks the oscillator and stops the receiver interference.
