In Reply to: Yes, and thank you. I understand that and what getter is and how it . posted by John PA on February 7, 2023 at 19:10:53:
The getter is certainly the easiest and quickest way to help identify tubes. But I think you're asking if any particular shape was chosen vs any ol' getter available at the time will do for a reservoir to hold the material.
Do some getter reservoir shapes work better than others by yielding more flash in the bulb to extend life. Are more/less gasses released by different internal designs that determine getter shape requirements. Why side getters in some instances.
Interesting question you have there.
