  • Abstract
    Results of an investigation of the grid and plate currents in a grid-controlled mercury-vapor tube show that the direction of grid current in these tubes depends not only upon the instantaneous polarity of the grid, but also upon the magnitude of both the grid voltage and the plate current. It is shown also that inverse plate current flows whenever grid current is flowing during the negative half cycle of plate voltage.
