The picture-reproducing device
The picture-reproducing device is a cathode-ray tube, similar to the or- cathode-ray tube used in oscilloscopes. The cathode-ray tube may be called a picture tube, because the pictures are reproduced on the face of this tube.
The tube consists of a glass envelope, a source of electrons, which are formed into a beam, a control grid for varying the intensity of the electron beam, deflection system for deflecting the beam, and a screen. The screen is covered with a fluorescent material that emits light upon impact by the electron beam. The fundamental action of the cathode-ray tube in reproducing a picture consists in the electron beam's moving horizontally and vertically simultaneously so as to cover the whole area of the picture-tube screen. The control grid of the picture tube controls the intensity of the beam, which strikes the screen in the same way as the control grid of an amplifier tube controls the plate current. In this way, each portion of the picture tube has the proper degree of light or shade to reproduce the original image.
