Re: You know, that glass . . .

Jeff-
Yep, this book states that it is a completely revised version of the 1951 book "Materials and Technology for Electron Tubes" It doesn't say if Kohl wrote the earlier version, or what other books he wrote, but...
It also says the earlier version had FOUR chapters on glass, which were condensed down to one for this version. It also says that Kohl was giving a Graduate course on "Tube Techniques" at Stamford and that this book, as well as the earlier version were seen as advanced texts for Tube Technicians.
You would have to wonder if they realized in 1960 when the revised book came out, that not even 10 years later tubes would be virtually gone from consumer electronics. (Except for TV's of course. And computer monitors) And that so much tube manufacture would quickly end in the US.
