...Into one neck ran the usual filaments to conduct electric current. These filaments ended in electrodes, of which the negative one or cathode could be heated white hot electrically before introducing the main current. About this cathode was built another innovation in vacuum tubes, a metal cup designed to repel electrons backfiring against it and converge them forward in a narrow stream at greatly accelerated speed. This stream was pointed down the tube's other neck, a foot long, the sides of which were likewise sheathed in metal to guide the electrons on their way. At the tube...
