In addition to the general types of tubes already de-scribed, there are certain specialized forms of tubes whichare highly useful, and fast becoming popular. Of these,the hydrogen tube and the Coolidge tube are, byfar, the most important. Hydrogen Tube The hydrogen tube, shown in Fig. 26, differs from theordinary gas tube in that in addition to having the reduc-ing feature, in common with other tubes, it has the addedadvantage of having a raising device. This means thatthe hydrogen tube may be raised or lowered, at will. Asthe name implies, this tube contains hydrogen, which isgr
