subject: Valves vs tubes.

TW>JE>TW>JB>No, that would be a "spigot". 



TW>JE>TW>Not necessarialy.

TW>JE>TW>ALL spigots have valves for NOT all Valves are Spigots!!  :-)

TW>JE>Well, all my life I have heard faucets, spigots, taps, & hydrants
TW>JE>used as one and the same and all knew exactly what we meant.

TW>BUT al of those have one thing in common. they release the Water outside
TW>the piping system. A "Valve" keeps it "IN" the
system and Controls it.
TW>EXACTICALY what the Vacuum Tube does to the Current(Electron) flow.

TW>The analogy of compiring "Electron Flow" to "Water
Flow" is an excellent
TW>teaching tool by the way foir the Newbee to "Radio
Electricity"(What it
TW>was called when I learned it).

It was called "Electronics" when I learned it in 1942!
