"Those on this site who know me from earlier times- (starting I think in 2000 or 2001), that I never use one word when twenty will do just as well."
Bambi, are you sure we aren't related somewhere along the line?? :~)

Jim McShane,
I think we are related in the sense that written descriptions of sound, it's relationship with hardware, and the science behind it does require a careful word choice- and to make a complete and supported description- a lot of words. Your post concerning tube ruggedness was excellent and to me, was clear, accurate, and exactly the right length.
Recommending a particular tube, requires scientific, technological, quantitative, qualitative,and aesthetic language! And, especially the aesthetic language may be confused and seem vague. Think of how many ways a tube might be called "cool".
Personally, I had always thought I would write austere poetry and novels in the magical realism style, but instead I am writing Patent applications- much more difficult to do well,..
Follows is a wordless description of the arcing of a GE 6550A called "Design for a Theatre".
Cheers,

Hi, Bambi, so you are in the patent business I see, done a few applications myself although I am primarily a patent searcher, who are you with?
gkargreen,
Ah- I may have made this sound grander than it is, as these are provisional applications for my own projects, of which there are a considerable number. These are considered preparatory and the hope is that they will represent sufficient protection during a development / funding phase.
I've been doing my own searches too- which seems more difficult to do well. In 2009, after what I believed to be a careful search, I worked on a project for months and only when doing application exhibits found an astoundingly similar design patented two years previously. This was a surprise as it was a complex and somewhat counter-intuitive device. It seems that the unconventionality confused the search- difficult to categorize.
A friend who is retired from NASA and who has several Patents is advising and there is much to be learned from doing searches and reading other applications. Even reading the details of infringement lawsuits is informative.
I've often wondered how professionals learn this as it requires a combination of high density technical, descriptive, and legal thinking.
Required forum audio content> quite a few audio projects including a couple that are vacuum tube related.
Cheers,
Bambi B
