Extract

The technical importance of constructing valve amplifiers disturbed by as little background noise as possible has led to a very searching investigation of the causes of this defect. Some causes—bad contacts, changes in the surface of the filament, secondary ions from the grid, and so forth—though technically speaking not trivial, are of minor physical interest; but it has long been recognized that there are two which cannot be dismissed so easily.
