My word, did I write that? At my age, I am often guilty of mis-types

recall that I did the experiment shortly after writing about it here.
I probably posted the results as well. Certainly there is grid
current in the normal direction.
Not with several volts negative on the grid with respect to the cathode.
Did you measure it or are you still depending on the data sheet?
As long as the tube is not cut-off,
it is a guarantee that some electrons will intercept the grid. Grid
current will not be zero unless the tube is cutoff.

Did you measure that, or are you still consulting the road map which
may or may not agree with the roads?
Please do not hesitate to point out errors and inconsistencies.
Never, ever.
Glad to hear it. I'm thankful for this new group, we need never
mention the old one and we'll likely be happier.
There
are days when I am amazed that I remember which end of a fork to hold.
Forrest Gump was right, Zed, and it definitely happens to us codgers.
I qualified for my first senior citizen discount 45 years ago. Must
have become a codger about the same time. I think that phase ends,
like adolescence. I think I fall into that category known as a living
sarcophagus. Whatever it's called today, I know I've always been a
curmudgeon.
