Dependable Quality IJH Dependable nill S Values NEW CATHODE RAY TUBE DEVELOPED Super - Power Three. - in One Arrangement Has 900,000 Volts Fower NKW YORK, Feb. lfi. MP) The possibility of construction of ."app.trattiA which will produce the beta nnd Riimma ray of radium Is : held forth by Ir. W. I. Coolidge, ;. assistant director of. the reHcnrch -.. I.'iburiitory of tin General- Flecirle .company In iiunminclni; develop ment of a new super-power cathode ' my lube operating on woo.ooit volts. The previous limit of pntvpr has been 300,000. The announcement was made at - a meeting of the American Institute. of etnrtrical engineers whore J)r. fnolldge received the Kdisori medal i for bin confcibutlonM in fnenndes cent llgbtlntrand the X-ray. , S-ln-1 Ami ngcmenl I The new tube Is a three-in-onc arrangement of the 3ft0.00ft voh cathode ray tube. A cascade r-1 ;. ra linemen t expels Ihe electrons ai the rale of 17"i,i0( miles a second, i which Ik the fastest man-made J Keeil ever attained. It Is 300,000 linien faster than the speed of a i bullet shot from a standard army ; rifle. "This npenH n vista of alluring. t vi'leniifb' possibilities," Kuld Hr.

According jto Sir Krnest Rutherford we need only a little more than twice the voltage which we have already em ! ployed to ' produce X-ra'H as pene trating as the most penetrating gamma rays from radium and about three million volts to- produce us high npeed as beta nry."
