  • Abstract
    A rational system of ratings for high-vacuum power tubes has been arrived at, which permits the determination of ratings by calculation, once the radio-frequency power amplifier and oscillator ratings, class C, have been determined by operating test and life test. A summarized tabulation of the rating factors is given. A system for reducing ratings at high frequencies is also developed.
