Cuthbert Andrews Gehrcke Cathode Glow Oscillograph
Oscillographe de Gehrcke
Glimmlicht-Oszillograph nach Gehrcke

Cuthbert Andrews, Manufacturer of Scientific Apparatus in Metal and Glass. 47, Red Lion Street, High Holborn, London.

Marking: Andrews Rapid X-Ray Tube 1019/1061 15.

A precursor to the modern oscilloscope, an apparatus built in the early 1900s for the visual study of alternating current characteristics. In operation, the cathode is covered for part of its length with a blue glow, the coverage depending on the applied voltage. The distance that the glow extends along the electrode is a function of the instantaneous value of the potential of the electrode. When an alternating potential difference of 750 to 1500 volts is used, and the electrodes are viewed in a rotating mirror, the potential wave form is clearly seen.
