Depends on the make of the tube but generally through the glass base near the heater pins or close to the bottom of the glass envelope. The rest of the bottle serves as a heatsink to conduct heat away from the base upwardly. The heater is helically or spirally wound on a pole and is generally centrally located like a pole in the middle of the glass envelope. Around this is the metal cathode. These are the two heat producing components. GRH
