Materials Technology for Electron Tubes by Walter H. Kohl

[7n7is]

This looks like it could be a useful book.
Materials Technology for Electron Tubes by Walter H. Kohl
from the Journal of Chemical Education 1952 pages 266-267

I found this looking through the JCE website at a library that has a subscription to it.


Look in the Audio folder here for JCE1952p0266_3-tubes.pdf. Its too big to upload to the forum.

Funny you should mention this. I've had the 1960 edition with the title changed to "Materials and Techniques for Electron Tubes" setting on my coffee table for the past few months. When my college age son's friends come by, I tell them that I'm going to soon start producing KT-88s in my basement. I figure I'm safe, however, since none of them has the slightest idea what a vacuum tube is, much less a KT-88! But, it is a very, very interesting book to look through!

Can you scan some of the more interesting parts and upload it to that Audio folder at 4shared.com?

Ah, in a word "no". PM me, though.

Kohl book

I've scanned the entire "Materials and Techniques for Electron Tubes" by Kohl (1960). It is rather large (86 Mbytes) and I am on a 28.8K dial-up line, so emailing it won't work. I will see if I can get it up on Pete Millett's or Frank Philipse's sites. This may take a while, since I have to send them a CDROM. If you are desperate, I could mail you a CDROM.

In the meantime, you could learn a lot from reading the two RCA in-house books that I have scanned (books on loan from Ludwell Sibley): Vacuum Tube Design (1940) and Electron Tube Design (1962). These are up at Frank's site (http://frank.pocnet.net/other/RCA/index.html) and at Pete Millet's site (http://www.pmillett.com/technical_books_online.htm)

I can wait. How long do you think it will take to have it put on one of their websites? I have DSL and access to faster broadband at other places (ie. T1 line). I'll book mark those links and have a look at them. Thanks.

Sorry, I meant to email me. I checked your profile, and your email address isn't available, but you could email me, so I can return it. I'd be willing to lend you the book, if you'll pick up the shipping cost, and depending on your location, there might not be any shipping involved.

now, maybe someone could (e)mail some of this info to the new tube manufacturers like EH

Some libraries in my area have a number of books by Walter H. Kohl, including Materials Technology for Electron Tubes. It would be nice to have a pdf file of the book, though.

Kohl book now online!

Frank Philipse got my CD and has posted some books I've scanned, including Kohl's "Materials and Techniques for Electron Tubes" (1960). It is available at his mirror sites:

The Kohl book is listed near the bottom of the page.

Got it. Thanks, John.

One thing I found out recently is that if a library, such as a university library has subscriptions to journals, you can usually download articles for free from the journal websites in the library. They apparently automatically recognize the university's IP address and allow full articles to be downloaded usually in pdf format. You can try that as a source of information.

Yes, but unfortunately most journals only have their most recent publications online (say the last 15 years).

I just downloaded this article:

A METAL-TO-GLASS JOINT
H. N. Ridyard
J. Am. Chem. Soc.; 1924; 46(2); 287-290.

from http://pubs.acs.org/journals/jacsat/
Its from 1924. I put it in the Audio folder here:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/2077108/ab6c3d06/sharing.html
since its too big to upload here.

filename = ja-metal2glass.pdf

The JCE1952p0266_3-tubes.pdf file came from the library using the method I described. That article is from 1952. It came from http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/

 

[7n7is]

You'll find these articles there, too. I just now downloaded them for free.

An Electron Tube Direct Current Voltmeter of New Design
R. L. Garman, M. E. Droz
Ind. Eng. Chem. Anal. Ed.; 1939; 11(7); 398-399.

Constant Current Sources Based on Transistors
N. H. Furman, L. J. Sayegh, R. N. Adams
Anal. Chem.; 1955; 27(9); 1423-1425.

Stabilized Magic Eye Indicator for Karl Fischer Titrations
Richard Kieselbach
Anal. Chem.; 1949; 21(12); 1578-1579.

Look at all the journals here.

I found out that I can download articles like these from the USDA library in Beltsville, MD., the University of Maryland libraries and even using the free public WiFi system at the US Patent and Trademark Office. I can't download these articles at home. Obviously, they know I don't have a subscription.

A lot of journals here http://www.springerlink.com/home/main.mpx

I found out that I can download articles from http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/
