  • Abstract
    The theory involved in the phenomena occurring in gas-filled rectifier tubes is discussed here. It is shown how the two basic laws of electronics, the Richardson-Laue-Dushman equation of thermionic emission and the Child-Langmuir space-charge law, affect the behavior of these tubes.
