CLASS OlP TUBE

TUbes are asslgned name. 8ccordtng to the number ot actlve elements. progresslng outward trom the cathode; 8 tube wlth a cathode, a control grld and a plate ls classltled as a trlOde.

'l'UBE TYPE NlDIBERS (lfe1r Tubes)

The first digit or digits indlcate8 the t'Uament vol tag. In steps ot one volt. 'l'he figure 1 1. used tor voltage8 below 2.0; the tigur. 2, tor voltages between 2.0 and 2.9; 3, voltage. between 3.0 and 3.9; etc.

Next i8 a letter tor serial de8ignation. Rectitiers start at DZ" and work backwards J aU other types start at "An.

The next number indicates the number or usetUl elements brought out to terminals.

ELEO'l'ROIB SYMBOLS

In a tUbe emS6djil1@ I!I. slngle set ot elements, the eleotrodes are designated:

H - Heater K - cathode

G - Grid P • Plate

PLATE NOHNCLATURE

In tu6is with one plate the letter "pD i8 employed; tube. possesslng two sets ot elements, as the type '16 (duplex diode triode), the plate ot the trlode unit Is Identitled by the letter "PDf the two diode plates 8S Pl and P2.

the plate8

'OTE : PI and P2 alway8 designa te ot a diode or reotitier.

Where duplex elements are contained in a bulb each set are unitormly correlated and designated by small letters, a, b, eto. Pol' instance, the type '19 clas8 "B" twin amplltier; the plate and grld or one unlt should be de.ignated a8 Pa and Gta; the other unit pt, and G2b.

GRID NOMENCLATURE

In tubis posse8dng more than one grid the notatiOns Gl. Ga. etc. are used. Gl i8 the grid nearest the cathode and the numbering runs oonsecutively toward the plat ••

Where grlds are not coaxlally arranged but interlaoed as In the co-planar or twin-grid construotion, the grids are designated sa No. A-l grid and No. A-2 grid, eto.

PIX IIBN'l'IP'ICATION

TO identity the contaot pine or a vacUQm tUbe baae, point the pins toward the observer 80 that the two beater pins (the beater terminal. or pins are larger than the other.}are at the top. Separate these two pin. by a vertioal line and the heater pin to the right i. Io.l.

The numbers asslgned to the remaining pift8 progre.. oonseoutively In a clock-wise direction.

TUBE DIMENSIONS

when oapital tetters deslgnate the various ~imens10ns ot a rad10 tube, generally the letter "AD represents the over-all height ot the tube as meas Ul'e~ trom the extreme bottom ot the pins to the extreme tOf ot the tube. When a top cap is employed "A repre- 8ents the over-all height ot the tube Including the top cap.

B, the largest d1ameter ot the tube, 0, the diameter ot the dome.

D, the he1ght ot the top-cap,

E, the height trom the bottom of the base

to the top ot the dome, P, the he1ght or the base.

G, the length ot the plns,

H, the dlameter ot the base.

When a slngle dimension i8 listed it represent. the average dimension; When two are entered they are maximum and mln1mulll.

BULB SHAPE AND DIJrlENS IONS

A letter llidlcates tEe shape ot the bulb and a tigure represents the number ot eight. or Inches as the maximum diameter ot the bulb.

When the bulb Is ret erred to as a S-16, It de.crlbes a "straight-sloped slded"bulb .imllar to that at the Ol-A, the maximum diameter be1~ 16/8" or 2".

An ST-l2 bulb has a tee section at the top, commonly called a dome bulb, 8imilar to the glas8 ot the 25-Z-5 rectitler. "0· appended to the bulb de.ignatlon lndicatea a top oap.

SALIENT FEATURES OF ARCTURUS TUBES

LABORATORY TESTS SHOW ARCTURUS TUBES HAVE LESS HUM

This diagram shows cOIIIparative hum output ot three makes of tubes. Considerable increase 1n hum was shown with tubes of two manufacturers when the filament potential was increased, while the curve for Arcturus Tubes remained constant. While different renufacturers' tubes were used in this test, No. 1 and 2 are among the largest in the industry and the curves are representative of the tubes in present use. The tubes of manufacturer No. 2 were found to have lower average hum than other makes investigated with the exception of Arcturus.

UNITARY STRUCTURE PRINCIPLE FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

This exclusive Arcturus Unitary Structure is a decided advance and is the last word in tube ruggedness assuring uniform characteristics.
