About This Item
NEW YORK: MCGRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY, INC., 1941 BLACK COVER WITH GOLD PRINT SPINE. FORMER OWNERS NAME INSIDE FRONT, TIGHT AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT. 12 CHAPTERS, AUTHOR AND SUBJECT INDEX, NUMEROUS TABLES, ILLUSTRATED THROUGHOUT. EASTMAN WAS A PROFESSOR OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AT UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. A vacuum tube, electron tube, valve (British usage), or tube (North America), is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied. The type known as a thermionic tube or thermionic valve utilizes thermionic emission of electrons from a hot cathode for fundamental electronic functions such as signal amplification and current rectification. Non-thermionic types such as a vacuum phototube, however, achieve electron emission through the photoelectric effect, and are used for such purposes as the detection of light intensities. In both types, the electrons are accelerated from the cathode to the anode by the electric field in the tube. ANTIQUE BOOKS DEN, WHERE INTERESTING BOOKS LIVE.
