Okco Hot Cathode Tube

 

 

 

  

 

 

                Typical X-Ray tube of the twenties. 20”(50 cms) long, small 4”(10cms) bulb, Coolidge type tube generally cooled by a heat radiator mounted on the anode shaft protruding out of the glass tube. Flat spiral filament inside a cup reflector. Heavy copper anode with a tungsten target.

 

                 Before the advent of the “Line Focus” tubes, the 6 KW output of this tube was about the maximum to be expected from an x-ray tube.

 

                 By comparison to early large bulb Coolidge tubes, tubes of this type were sometimes referred to as “Baby Coolidge’.
