Longevity of Tubes To prolong the life of vacuum tubes, they should be burned as dimly as possible at all times. Excessive filament current and plate voltage has the property of destroying the coating of thorium on the filament. If the operator finds that the tube has to be burned brightly and the plate voltage must be over ninety for good volume, the tube should be taken back to the place where It was purchased and a test made. Should one find that It Is Impossible to guess at the proper brilliancy, a voltmeter should be added to the set. Nevir connect an aerial to an elect! Ic light pole.
