552 RICILUWSOX'S BLUEBOOK OF PROJECTION Grid Bias Supply (26) The grid bias must be smooth d. c. The voltage required is a small fraction of the plate voltage needed for the same tube. The current required in Class A is zero, since the "load" of the grid circuit is a condenser, through which d. c. does not flow. In Class B circuits there will be some flow of grid current when the grid swings positive. (27) There are three methods of providing grid supply. The simplest is by use of a small dry battery, called the "C" Battery. This would connect to terminals "C" of Figure 128, negative to grid, and positive to cathode. A second method uses a voltage drop introduced into the d. c. filament supply (Figure 137). A resistor is wired in series between the negative side of the filament and the negative pole of the filament supply battery or other d. c. source. The grid is wired to the negative side of that resistor, and is therefore negative with respect to filament by the extent of the voltage drop the resistor creates. A0 d °s Fig. 137. — Method of obtaining grid bias by voltage drop in filament circuit. The method of Figure 137 is not applicable to large tubes that need a grid bias of higher value than their full filament voltage. The circuit of Figure 138 is used with such tubes, as well as with heater types. The resistor shown in that diagram is in series with the plate or "B" circuit. The grid of Figure 138 is negative with respect
