            Abstract : 
Traveling-wave tube helices can be supported at every turn by shrinking a nonprecision glass envelope directly on to the wires. Contact of glass and wire can occur continuously or at discrete flutes. The glass-shrinking procedure and the equipment used are described in detail.
