Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

92 RICHARDSON'S BLVEBOOK OF PROJECTION (91) Conduction through a vacuum has not yet been described. If there be no gas in the envelopes of Figs. 40 and 41, but if emission of electrons from the cathode i + . E> circuit . A circuit Figure 41 takes place, those electrons will be attracted by the positively charged anode. A vacuum contains nothing, hence cannot hinder the electrons from being pulled to the anode. The resistance of a perfect vacuum is zero. The number of electrons arriving at the anode in a vacuum structure like Figs. 40 and 41 will be governed in part by the "emission resistance." That is to say, it will depend upon the number of electrons emitted, and other factors explained below. The total effect of all factors tending to limit the number of electrons reaching the anode is known as the anode impedance or plate impedance (the anode being sometimes called the plate). This is equal (Ohm's Law) to E/I, where E is the voltage difference between anode and cathode and I is the vacuum current. (92) In a vacuum tube of the type diagramed, the plate impedance includes the following influences: (a) The extent of emission from the cathode, (b) The fact that the cathode, having emitted electrons is left relatively positive by their absence. It is still negative as compared
