- Notes
-
The Clix Octal Valve Holder, introduced in 1938 by British Mechanical Productions, was a chassis-mounting type designed for American Octal base valves.
Key features included:
- Floating Spring Contacts: These allowed for easy valve insertion and provided anti-microphonic action.
- Self-Cleaning Mechanism: The contacts maintained line pressure with the valve pins and were self-cleaning.
- Low Losses: The metal parts only contacted the solid dielectric at widely separated rivets, minimizing losses.
- Exclusive Availability: Initially, it was available solely to manufacturers.
Additionally, the company produced an Octal-valve top-cap connector made of a split ring with a black insulating material terminal, priced at 1½d.
