getter. With top and two sides, that extraneous gas should be absorbed. Then some tubes like the Sylvania types with huge getter flashed from top to half way down the tube!

I have a friend, if he is still alive, who worked for RCA and had patents in his name for tubes but of course RCA got the monies but his knowledge was like an encyclopedia. And any "new" circuit for tubes I would bring up from CCS etc., he would say, oh yeah, we did that in 1959, etc. Tubes were like eating an apple, as long as you have teeth. lol

Then Tim Fox, who used to come on here, has vast knowledge as well. I knew him in the Navy where we used mostly all tubes. He was an ET and then went on to become a Master Chief.
