Description

Spark Gap Trigatron for Delay line discharge/pulse forming in radar modulators.

  • 12 pulses per second at 12kV max.
  • Peak current 60A.

Hard-glass (pyrex) envelope, filled with argon at 4 atmospheres and oxygen at 20 mm Hg, as quenching agent. The bulb was covered by protective lacquered sock to prevent fragment scattering in case of heavy overloads. Trigatron tubes were made with an extremely high vacuum.The trigger electrode stem was protected by a glass tubing up to the tip.

According to the Virtual Valve Museum data for this tube, it was the first production Trigatron. Available from mid-1942, it was used to drive the CV64 magnetron in H2S radar.
