notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: A double-ended thin glass tube with a contact at either end. Subminiature tube. Donor’s card reads: “Gas diode voltage regulator made by the Red Bank Division of the Bendix Corporation, Eatontown, NJ. Voltage regulator of the cold cathode type. Designed for use as a voltage reference source or a voltage stabilizing element in low current applications where space conservation is a primary consideration. Due to its design and size it can be incorporated directly into electrical circuits in the same manner as small condensers or resistors, without the use of sockets. Regulation voltage 250, current 5 to 400 microamperes.” See also: https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6142.html.
