The vacuum tube is 100 years old this year
I'm brushing up on my radio and tube knowledge by reading a book
published in 1953 that I picked up on ebay. Elements of Radio. Something caught my attention that I hadn't realized. The Flemming valve (diode) was invented in 1904. Happy birthday to the tube! -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Look at all the mayhem and entertainment that little invention has produced
for all of us. Plus the financial impetus of it's heritage for the retailer, developer, and of course, the technicians. About time to cherry up a plate of a valve and deteroite the cathode coating in respect!! Eh you know, just enuf to produce some really nasty harmonics!! LoL Cheers to Dr. Fleming and all the rest, including Sarnoff, Rhenton, etc. Sad thing is that most of the development of these devices were initially for military and industrial uses rather than entertainment but again, that seems to be indicative of our system here in the Great USA.

As though military-industrial uses you decry have no connection to the remainder of society. And I suppose you have a plan to re-design the human race so that Joe Sixpack feels the same sense of urgency about quantum photon computing as he does about cheaper cellphone rates. webpa |
