No matterwhat the filament shape, it is supported in such a manner asto prevent its displacement when jarred. The tube of Fig. 12has a straight tungsten filament supported at its upper endby a nickle rod, to which it is carefully welded. The lowerend of the filament wire is welded to a shorter nickle rodand both rods are anchored into a glass stem. The longerrod is springy, so that it will hold the filament taught. 40 VACUUM TUBE RECTIFIER The grid may be a mesh of nickle wire wound about twosupports.
