The Cathode Ray Tube site, old electronic glassware
On these 28 pages you will find a lot of interesting pictures from a part of my tube collection. Together with other information and links to sites who share the same interest I will try to give you a trip through time in which a lot of discoveries took place, the time roughly between 1850 and 1950, when most of our modern techniques were invented. Let's have a look at the first famous CRT, Camera tubes and famous demonstration tubes like the Crookes Maltese Cross tube. Also Röntgen (X-Ray), Geissler tubes and Ruhmkorff coils are part of this website. If you want to know more details about the topics, just follow the links on the pages to sites with in-depth information or biography from famous people like Ferdinand Braun, William Crookes or Heinrich Geissler.
