Weapons Instrumentation
Abstract
Four high-current tubes have been received from the Farnsworth Electronics Company. The parts of these tubes, hydrogen fired in previous tubes, were vacuum fired at over 800 deg C. Tests performed on the four tubes showed no improvement in regard to regeneration over previous tubes. When the output currents of the tubes were high, light flashes were observed, as before, in the collector ends of the tubes and when analyzed with a spectroscope were found to have a spectrum line which coincides with the 4861.3-A0 line of a hydrogen discharge tube. With the new light trapping baffles in the tubes it was more difficult to observe the light with the spectroscope, and other lines were not intense enough to be identified.
