Thank you, Ralph. Apologies for the uber-late reply ;-)...
I assume that this would be attributed to contaminants "burning" off of the cathodes and being absorbed by the getter? When B+ is applied, does it just "bake" them on instead, or is the reasoning so far unknown?
I'm just trying to understand the process behind preconditioning better.
