The VALVE development continues rapidly and concerns both the characteristics and method of construction. A new Mullard type of valve of exceedingly unorthodox construction is described in this article.
development of the technique of radio valve manufacture was assisted in the early stages by the experience gained in the product ion of incandescent lamps. Although originally developed for the lamp, the glass bulb and foot, with its pinch, were adopted for the vacuum-tight envelope of the valve. Recent receiver development, however, has raised Problems which are difficult of solution with the existing valve technique. This is especially so in the case of short-wave and television apparatus.
THE
Some of the difficulties encountered in the original method of construction is developed from incandescent-lamp manufacture, can be summarised as follows:
(1) In certain valves of the old construction it was found necessary to connect anode and control grid to the opposite ends of the valve, which sometimes complicates receiver design.

Original EF50?

Dear members, I wonder if anyone has more information on what I believe was the original version of the EF50 vhf pentode, which I'm told had a metallised coating (not the aluminium can of later versions) and L-shaped pins, so that the valve had to be pushed in and twisted to lock? (1939?) I'm told there were problems with side pressure on the pins cracking the glass, but I wonder how many were produced? A good photograph or information on the whereabouts of one would be most welcome! Regards from John.
