The data to be read in conjunction with the Hydrogen
Thyratron Preamble.
ABRIDGED DATA
Hydrogen-filled tetrode thyratron, featuring low jitter and low
anode delay time drift. Suitable for use at high pulse repetition
rates, in parallel for switching higher powers, or for switching
long pulses. A reservoir operating from the cathode heater
supply is incorporated. The tube is flange mounted with flexible
lead connections.
