Copyright 1943 by Eadio Corporation of America, RCA Victor Division FOREWORD On radio communication rests man's destiny.Like the magic of Merlin, it con- trols airfleets, moves armies, guides convoys, dissolves horizons.It is the coordin- ator of fighting legions. It controls the destiny of nations. Power Tubes make radio communication possible. Within their geometric confines evolves the phenomena of electronics on which hinges the complicated functioning of communication equipment. Small wonder then that the need for Power Tubes on the front line of battle is tremendous and that a supreme effort is needed to sup- ply them in the quantities required. That means that Power Tubes for all other purposes may become even more difficult to replace. It is, therefore, a patriotic duty and sound business policy to operate tubes wisely. We welcome the opportunity to cooperate in helping RCA Transmitting Tube users to extend tube life to the fullest by setting forth the following suggestions. Operate tubes conservatively. Avoid overloading.Follow carefully the instruc- tions and published data outlined in the Instruction Book packed with each tube. Reduce grid, screen and plate dissipation. Use forced ventilation wherever pos- sible.Use adequate fuse and overload -relay protection.Preheat mercury-vapor rectifiers-measure ambient temperatures. Operate tubes having coated cathodes and thoriated-tungsten filaments at rated cathode or filament voltages. Reduce filament voltage of pure tungsten -filament types wherever possible.(A 5% de- crease will double tube life when the transmitter can be adjusted for operation closer to maximum permissible distortion). Operate spare tubes occasionally. In presenting the 1944 RCA GUIDE to radio engineers and techniciansinthe Services and in the war industries, it is our belief that the up-to-date information contained in this volume will prove most helpful in choosing the right tube for the job and in getting the most from the tubes on the job. Should you desire addition- al information on any of the tubes described herein, or if you have special tube problems, we invite you to write to the Commercial Engineering Section, RCA Victor Division, Radio Corporation of America, Harrison, N.

OUTSTANDING CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES OF THE 813 BEAM TRANSMITTING TUBE The 813 is RCA's largest glass air-cooled beam transmitting tube. It is designed for transmitters requiring exceptional over- all efficiency.It is a logical choice for the ultra -modern final and intermediate r -f amplifier that needs no neutralizing adjust- ments and that can switch channels in a flash. Also, it meets the requirements for high -power transmitters having few tun- ing controls and a minimum of driver equipment. RCA -813 doubles, triples, and quadruples with unusually high efficiency and high harmonic output. In brief, this exceptional beam tube can handle a greater variety of big-time jobs than any other tube of its size or class.

  • Vacuum Tube Theory, a Basics Tutorial – Page 1
    Vacuum Tube Theory, a Basics Tutorial – Page 1 Vacuum Tubes or Thermionic Valves come in many forms including the Diode, Triode, Tetrode, Pentode, Heptode and many more. These tubes have been manufactured by the millions in years gone by and even today the basic technology finds applications in today's electronics scene. It was the vacuum tube that first opened the way to what we know as electronics today, enabling first rectifiers and then active devices to be made and used. Although Vacuum Tube technology may appear to be dated in the highly semiconductor orientated electronics industry, many Vacuum Tubes are still used today in applications ranging from vintage wireless sets to high power radio transmitters. Until recently the most widely used thermionic device was the Cathode Ray Tube that was still manufactured by the million for use in television sets, computer monitors, oscilloscopes and a variety of other electronic equipment. Concept of thermionic emission Thermionic basics The simplest form of vacuum tube is the Diode. It is ideal to use this as the first building block for explanations of the technology. It consists of two electrodes - a Cathode and an Anode held within an evacuated glass bulb, connections being made to them through the glass envelope. If a Cathode is heated, it is found that electrons from the Cathode become increasingly active and as the temperature increases they can actually leave the Cathode and enter the surrounding space. When an electron leaves the Cathode it leaves behind a positive charge, equal but opposite to that of the electron. In fact there are many millions of electrons leaving the Cathode.

  • Owner's Manual
    Owner’s Manual Hello from the Tone Farm Congratulations on your choice of the TransAtlantic TA-30 and Welcome to the MESA/ Boogie Family. The instrument you have chosen may well redefine the Brit amp genre by including preamp and power options that seem near impossible for an amplifier with such a humble footprint and manageable poundage. This TransAtlantic follows the architec- ture of its lower powered sibling, the TA-30, that’s been blowing the minds of critics and players alike and adds a more robust power section, gorgeous tube Reverb and an assign- able/bypassable Effects Loop. The extra horsepower and feature set on the TA-30 brings the TransAtlantic concept - and more importantly Tone - out of the studio and into the world of pro gigging. Two footswitchable Channels navigate the Atlantic with stylistic flair and give you a pass- port to the best British and American preamp sounds in two straightforward groups of five controls. The Five Preamp Modes (2 in Ch.1 and 3 in Ch. 2) are selected with a simple mini toggle located in the top position of stacked toggles in each Channel. Along with this array of iconic preamps the TA-30 offers three amazing power choices in each Channel, each of which allow you to perfectly tune the power to enhance the preamp Mode chosen for a given footswitchable sound. The result of all this flexibility is a fully capable live- performance amp with an uncanny sense of direction; that can also be switched down to 15 watts for lower volume power- clip applications or late-night sessions.

  • Patterson Model 308 – Gerry O’Hara for SPARC
    Restoring a Patterson Model 308 – Gerry O’Hara for SPARC Introduction The SPARC Museum in Coquitlam, BC, Canada is an interesting place to be on a Sunday – there are usually a few ‘drop ins’ every week – folks that turn up at the museum with an interesting set to ask us about – usually questions like “can you get it to work?”, “can you identify this set/how old is it?”, “what’s it worth?”, or “ do you have a tube for this?”. Folks also want to donate sets to the Museum – which is great, but in recent years the Museum has been running out of space. This has meant two things – we have had to introduce a program of ‘de-acquisition’ for things that are ‘peripheral’ to radio/the mission of the Museum, that the Museum has duplicates of, or items that are not rare and are in poor shape. The second ‘triage factor’ is the country of origin – the name of the Museum is a clue here – with a primary focus on items of Canadian origin. However, there are many radios not manufactured in Canada that the museum is also interested in – especially those manufactured in Europe and the USA. Radios from the latter were widely sold across Canada and/or were imported across the USA/Canada border, and from the former by European immigrants bringing their radios with them and/or through a network of Canadian distributors for sets of European manufacture, especially from the UK. As a result, sets manufactured in the USA are very common in Canada, especially those from the larger manufacturers of the day.

  • Early German and American Radar Transmitter Technology 1
    Copyright 2002 by Hans H. Jucker. Published in the Tube Collector Association Bulletin, Medford OR 97501, U.S.A. October 2002 Early German and American Radar Transmitter Technology Initially radar engineers worked with commercially available transmitter tubes. The very high voltage operation in radar transmitters caused serious positive ion bom­ bardments of the cathode. Therefore only tungsten cathodes or thoriated tungsten cathodes with their rather limited electron emission were sufficiently robust for this service. In 1937 Dr. Felix Herringer of the Lorenz electron tube laboratory mastered the development of an oxide cathode tube, suitable for pulse modulated UHF radar transmitters. The C. Lorenz company filed 1938 for the new type of tube, the patent Nr. 862782 “Anodenimpulsmodelung bei Röhren mit Oxydkathode” The photo shows the first laboratory sample of the Lorenz DS 323 pulse type UHF triode developed 1937. The DS 323 was the first pulse type transmitter tube with oxide cathode, suitable for radar transmitters. The oxide cathode with the higher electron emission (>5 amps. plate saturation current) made it possible to generate much higher RF output powers. The power dissipation of the heavy plate construction, containing several heat sinks, was 75 watts. The tube didn’t need a getter because of the tantalized plate surface. In 1938 Dr. Gotthard Mueller of the C. Lorenz labora­ tory at Berlin, developed with two DS 323 tubes a pulse modulated push pull transmitter for the 500 MHz band. The C. Lorenz company filed for this new kind of transmitter on 10th April 1938 the patent Nr. 767453 “Anordnung zur Erzeugung bzw.
