94 RICHARDSON'S BLUEBOOK OF PROJECTION the anode is not an emitter (except to a slight extent when bombarded by electrons). If an alternating potential be connected to the B circuit of Figs. 40 and 41 current will flow according to Ohm's Law while the anode is positive but the B circuit will be open inside the tube whenever the anode becomes negative. Such tubes, both vacuum and gas-filled, are used in the projection room for the purpose of obtaining d.c. from an a.c. supply. They are said to "rectify" the a.c. — that is, convert it to d.c. — and are called rectifying tubes or more simply, rectifiers. (95) Many vacuum tubes essentially the same as those diagramed in Figs. 40 and 41 are given the modified structure shown in Fig. 42. The additional element introduced between the cathode and the plate is called a grid. It consists either of metal mesh or a spiral of wire surrounding the cathode. Electrons passing from cathode to anode must move between the turns or through the meshes of the grid, and are greatly influenced by any PLATE OPCU/T gp/p c/pca/r Figure 42 charge that may be placed on the grid. The grid is located at that point between cathode and anode where electrons emitted with only moderate velocity can be made
