What is "vacuum tubes"

Usage examples of "vacuum tubes".

Among the successes was developing the first solid-state computer by replacing vacuum tubes with transistors.

Disused CloudTunnel, ribbed with vacuum tubes, tended to gain gas and therefore additional weight through osmosis over the millennia.

It is a matter of record that part of the Mid-Western Electric research guys had been workin' on cold electron-emission for thirty years, to make vacuum tubes that wouldn't need a power source to heat the filament.

They're not far along with electronics yet, but they've got the theoretic knowledge and they don't need vacuum tubes.

There are more vacuum tubes in the entire instrument than there were vacuum tubes in the State of New York before World War II.

Then it transforms itself into a slightly different machine--an organ that runs on electricity, with ranks of vacuum tubes here, and a grid of relays there.

You see, what makes a thinking machine so big and expensive is that it has to be full of relays and vacuum tubes just so that microscopic electric currents can be controlled and made to flicker on and off, here and there.

The engineers would do just that, tapping at suspect vacuum tubes with a screwdriver when the electronics were proving balky.

It's used in special filaments for vacuum tubes, numerous other applications, and it's far easier to work than pure tungsten.

The amplifier involved more vacuum tubes than Amalfi had ever before seen gathered into one circuit, and there was % separate power supply to deliver DC to their heaters.

I'll need to have rules on wiring, instructions for constructing vacuum tubes.

Crushed, mutilated machinery, shattered vacuum tubes, sagging members, all ruined by the gravity and the pressure.

For behind the neat, gleaming panel of Murdock's rig was a shambles of smashed vacuum tubes, twisted capacitor plates, dented coils, tangled wire.
