Hi:

The link is to a glossary at Tube Cad Journal. A "taste of tubes will talk about "ultra linear" and give you the history of it.

Ray's electronics will tell you how a tube works and what a triode is as will the R-10 tube manual. The rest are just good on-line sources if you want to get more into it.

Short general articles on tubes:

GA “A Taste of Tubes” Sonic Frontiers Site. 50 page history of tubes and how tubes work. www.anthemav.com/frames/tubes2fr.html

GA. “The Cool Sound of Tubes”: Short article. www.spectrum.ieee.org/select/0898/tube.html

GA. “How A Vacuum Tube Works”: The Svetlana Site. Short article. www.svetlana.com/docs/tubeworks.html.
