New Directions in Aircraft Instrumentation: Development of the Thin Cathode-Ray Tube

The thin cathode-ray tube, invented by the author and developed by Kaiser Industries West Coast Electronics Laboratory, is described. Designed primarily for “on-the-wall,” viewing, the thin tube has excellent focusing properties and permits simultaneous viewing from both sides of the display surface. The electron beam is injected along an edge of the tube and deflected twice to from a spot on the viewing surface. The physical configuration and sweeping circuits are described.
