I found this article a long time ago, haven't looked at it for a while so I might just reread it now. I remember it having good info an all types of tubes and circuits.
Follow Ups:
So far? I LOVE the history lesson. Stuff happened far earlier than many would imagine.
Experiments were already under way with Single ended and using triodes / pentodes.
I can hardly wait to see how this turns out......

Yep. If you're similar to me, tubes are those pesky, unreliable things in the TV set that prevented you from watching Quick Draw McGraw on Saturday morning when they broke.
Only to rediscover them later in life in an environment where they really shine - audio. Then you want to learn all you can about them, and yes, their history is a real trip. Still utterly relevant well over a hundred years later!
I like the connections with SS in terms and usage.
I worked for a company making Quartz Oscillators and I was the lead in the cutting room......I turned GROWN (not fused) Quartz ingots into bars for cutting than cut them into wafers for further processing.
To get the angle right? (Bragg Angle) I had a GE Calibration Standard X-Ray machine. When THAT went on the fritz? I'd end up at the local Thrifty with a couple shopping bags of tubes to test.
I'm kind of surprised I've made it to 70. I SHOULD be glowing in the dark or mutated or polluted with some of the Chemistry I used a LOT of......TriChloroethane......a solvent.....And acetone. and Alcohold and Technostrip to strip GOLD off of tooling. that stuff had Arsenic in it.....Fun Times.
