RJT> rectifiers".

 Full-wave and half-wave pertain to the portion
of the mains input cycle when current is flowing
from the mains into the secondary circuit.

 Half-wave means about half the time and full-
wave means for the full cycle (approximately).

 The tubes were expected to be used in a full-
wave rectifier circuit; but of course, you could
use them however you wished.
