For Certain purposes, in particular for measurements of short time periods it is known to cause the luminous spot in a cathode ray tube to perform a circular path through suitable deflection of the electron ray, whereby additional, radially directed deflection of the fluorescent spot so that upon application of suitable potentials to the paris of deflecting plates, the combined actions of the fields produce a circular trace upon the screen. 1
For this deflection magnetic fields alsomay be employed. In the simplest way a rotary field is used for this deflection. In this case the two electrode pairs 5 and B have voltages applied that are displaced in phase by 90. When employing a rotating field the electron ray describes during 5 one cycle the same envelope of a circular cone. Accordingly, at symmetrical arrangement and construction of the fluorescent screen 23 the traced spot of the electron ray 3 moves along 10 is superposed for instance for reproducing ina circular line. After passing through the ro- 10 dication marks. In this case, aside from the tating field which affects the rotation of the ordinary deflection system which may consist for cathode ray, the latter passes through the aninstance of two plates or coil pairs, an additional nular space between two coaxial cone-shaped or deflection system for the radially directed decylindrical electrodes la and lbto which the flection of the electron ray is employed. The voltage impulses are applied which cause the ra- 15 latter suitably comprises concentric surfaces of dial deflection of the electron ray. The inner derevolution electrodes such as two conical or frusflection electrode la is mounted at a conical tro-conioal electrodes coaxially disposed with drawn-in part 8 of the wall 4 of the fluorescent respect to the axis of the ray path, or cylindrical screen. The entire supporting arrangement is 20. electrodes concentrically disposed with respect situated within the cone-shaped envelope de- 2 to this ray axis, and arranged within the cathode scribed by the rotating electron ray and hence ray tube. The electron ray performing through is in the shadow of the beam. The outer elecits fluorescent spot on the screen of the tube a trode lb as well as the connection at H can be circular path passes through the annular space mounted in the hitherto customary manner, since between the two electrodes. In the hitherto the mounting arrangement of this electrode like- 25 known arrangements of such a cathode ray tube Wise lies in the shadow. The connection I2 of it is found to be a disadvantage that the mountthe inner deflection electrode la is provided suiting arrangement and connection lead for the ably across the connection line 9 preferably inner electrode of the additional deflection syspassed through the drawn-in part. In this way tem cause shadow spots on the fluorescent screen the formation of shadow parts due to the lead-in 30 of the tube thus interrupting the luminous image is likewise avoided. of the circular path.
