Abstract
Mercurypool tubes of the ignitron type offer attractive features for power rectifier service. This paper discusses the application of this type to controlled high voltage, high power rectifiers for radio transmitters, and some problems peculiar to their use as such. A developmental rectifier of this type, which has been in trial operation, is described.
