A Brief History Of The Tube: In 1883, Edison discovered that electrons would flow from a suspended filament when enclosed in an evacu- ated lamp. Years later, in 1905, Fleming expanded on Edison's discovery and created the "Fleming Valve".
The Nature Of Tubes: Why (And When) To Replace Them: Tubes are made up of a number of fragile mechanical components that are vacuum-sealed in a glass envelope or bubble.
