Description: Shows the purpose of components and the operation of a two-cavity klystron. Traces a signal through the circuit and points out the differences between velocity and density modulation, showing how the input cavity alters the electron velocity and how the output cavity intercepts the energy from the bunched electrons. Shows the operation of the klystron as an amplifier and oscillator. (Kinescope)
