(7) Provision for adequate cooling of all grids. (8) Adequate insulation paths to permit a high anode potential. (9) The absence of any leads common to both input and output circuits. The first of the experimental tubes designed to have a fifteen-wattdissipation per anode is shown in Fig. 1. It will be noted that a parti-tion divides the envelope into two parts. This partition is in realitydouble, being made up of two sheets, one being connected to the sup- 14 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL pressor grids and the mid-point of the filament circuit and the otherbeing connected to the screen grids. Slots in these sheets provide spaceto mount the tube elements. The capacitance between the two closely.
