ELECTRONICS AT WORK

Explains the basic functions of electronic tubes and shows how each type of tube is used in some of the latest industrial and military applications. Animated drawings showing tube construction are used to explain the cathode, anode and grid elements to identify, amplify, generate, control, transform light into electric current and transform electric current into light. Precipitrons, radio and radio-telephony, high frequency induction heating, resistance welding control, television and industrial and medical X-ray are a few of the electronic devices which are illustrated and described to show how the tubes perform in the various applications.
