New Detector Tube
for Radio Service

The Idea, proposed year or more
ago, of a detector tube filed with a
colloidal liquid has been revived by a
recent invention in which the tube"
contains solution of the iron salt OF
gallo acid. This material is said to
be the same as the compound former
ly used in the old-fashiOned black inks
made of iron and oak gals.
The solution of iron and gallic acid
is colloidal solution, which means
that it contains innumerable tiny par
ticles, finer than the smallest specks
of dust. These particles are said to
carry the currents through the tube
just as the electrOns do in the ordi.
nary vacuum tube.
The tube contains the usual three
electrodes. corresponding to the fila
ment, the grid and the plate. 1t is I'M
necessary, however, for the tilament
electrode OF the new tube to be heat
ed or to serve as source of electrons.
No "A battery is necessary, although
the high-voltage "B" battery Is used
as in ordinary tubes.
1t is said that the new solution of
iron and gallic acid is a great i'm
provement over the cOlloidal solutions
used in previous liquid-filled detectors,
which solutions were mainly either
silver or sulphur EXperimenters are
reported to be enthusiastic over the
behavior of the new iron and gallo
acid tubes, especially when used as
detectors for the reception of local
stations.
