New Technical Information. New Tubes. During 1998 Taylor Tubes maintained its leadership in the sales of Trans- mitting Tubes to Amateurs and added more luster to the brilliance of its famous slogan, "More Watts per Dollar”, by the announcement and sales of thousands of T-40's and TZ-40's. These two types set a standard of value in the Transmitting Tube field and portend future announcements of new Taylor Types during 1999, that will advance further Taylor Tubes dominant sales and engineering leadership. Among commercial engineers and amateurs, the word is “Watch Taylor Tubes in 1939", Taylor Tubes thanks its many friends In the commercial as well as amateur ranks for their strong support, With the introduction of this 1939 manual and catalog we again dedicate ourselves to your service.

As indicated by the characteristics, the T21 is extremely easy to drive and many circuits for its opera- lion are shown in the Taylor rigs described in this Man- ual. The plate dissipation rating of the T-21 is 21 watts and no color will show on the plate when operated at and within this rating. Plate dissipation in excess of this rated value should be avoided.

E75 T-55 AMATEUR'S FAVORITE TUBE! ‘OVER 9000 IN USE Improved $ 600 Now the T-$5 hes been furthor im- proved. No basic changes have been made but small improvements have 1e- sulted in superior characteristics, which even more than in the past, will make the T-55 stand head and shoulders above othors in its price range. Throughout the world, many commercial companics, as well es amateurs, acclaim the T-§5 as "the champion” of all transmitting tubes. Tho T-55 is tho fastest solling transmitting tube of reasonable size because it is designed to permit effi- cient operation at the highest frequencies used by Amatours—because the rating of 55 watts plate dissi- pation is consorvative—and because the tube will operate at normal efficiency with a minimum of grid drive. Ils low price, of courso, fulfills the TAYLOR slogan, "More Watts Per Dollar.” While the rated plate dissipation is $5 watts, no color shows until the dissipation amounts to 75 watts. To obtain best efficiency with 2 minimum of harmonic content, we recommend that certain values of capac- ity bo used in the plate tank and the tank coils should bbe proportioned to hit resonance at the operating fre- quency wih the proper amount of capacity in the circuit. These capacities should be the actual amount of tank condenser in the circuit across the entire plate tank. A higher value of C will result in lower tank Impedance and lower efficiency. A lower value of C will rosult in slightly higher efficiency, but this will be oifset by increased harmonic-content as well as poor linearity when the stage is modulated. These values will hold for both plate neutralized single ended and push pull amplifiers operated at the rating of 1500 volts 150 MA per tube, (Single onded 1500 volts 150 MA—push pull 1500 volts 300 MA) 171s KC—160 Mmfd 14000 KC —20 Mmmfd 3500 KC— 80 Mmfd 28000 KC—10 Mmfd 7000 KC— 40 Mmid 56000 KC— 5 Mmfd Under these conditions with an input of 1800 volts 180 MA per tubs, the efficiency should be approxi- mately 75% and the output approximately 170 watts, por tube. For one tube tho recommended grid bias resistor would be 8000 ohms. Half that value or 4000 ohms would be correct for two tubes parallel or push pull. For CW or buffer operation the rectified grid current should be 17 MA or more and for phone operation should be 25 MA or more per tube. Under no conditions should the rectified grid current exceed, the rated value of 40 MA.. Exprossod in terms of power approximately 7.5 watts of drive are required for efficient CW or buifer operation or 18 watts for phone operation.T-125 125 WATTS PLATE DISSIPATION WITH ACCELERATING FINS ‘Tae TIS lg the tube amateurs have demanded to All the aap botwoen the TSS and 1200.

For CW operation the plate voltage may be increased to 2500 volts for an input of 875 watts to a single tube. A pair of these tubes push-pull will loaf along at far below the ratings with | kw input on any frequency from 30 to 1.7MC, This tube in common with all Taylor tubes uses the most efficient flat form of construction and the interelectrode capacities represent the best possible com- ination of interelectrode capacities and other characteristics for best efficiency at moderate plate voltages with minimum grid drive requirements, ‘The interelectrode capacities are low enough for ease of neutralization even at the highest amateur frequen- cies yet aro not so low that the characteristics of the tube are adversely affected. For best efficiency with minimum harmonic con- tent, certain L/C ratios which are a function of the type of operation, frequency, plate voltage and plato current are recommended. These optimum ratios may be found for any amateur band and any reason- able values of input in the L/C ratio charts in both the ARRL and West Coast handbooks. Under proper operating conditions with an input of 2000 volts 350MA the officiency should be ap proximately 75% and the output approximately 525 ‘watts per tube, For one tube the recommended arid bias resistor would be 5000 ohms. Half that value or 2500 ohms would be correct for 2 tubes parallel cor push-pull. For CW or buffer operation the recti- fied grid current should be 35MA or more and for phone operation should be 60MA or more per tube. Under no conditions should the rectified grid current exceed the maximum rated value of 80MA per tube. Expressed in terms of power, approximately 20 Watts of arid drive are required for elficient CW or buffer ‘operation or 35 watts for phone operation. Large out: puts may be obtained with lesser amounts of grid drive but the plate efficiency may be expected to be legs with reduced excitation though the power gain will increase. ‘The 1200 is widely used in Diathermy equipment. ‘This type of service is partciularly hard on Tubes and the general acceptance of the T200 by many leading manufacturers of Diathermy equipment is convincing proof of the 7200's rugged consiruction and conserva tive rating. Do not confuse the T200 with smaller tubes bearing the same type number. Compare the sizo of its Super Carbon Anode with tubes of similar ratings.
