Very good Brian
-- Keyboard to you "Brian Hill" wrote in message ... "Keyboard In The Wilderness" wrote in message news:FjU7d.41227$aW5.12465@fed1read07... Correct -- but for For what purpose ?? -- Keyboard to you B+ is the positive plate voltage used to draw electrons emitted by the cathode or filament to produce a useful current through a tube. It can be supplied either with a P.S. or a battery. So There! -- 73 and good DXing. Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of radios and 100' of rusty wire!

"Keyboard In The Wilderness" ) writes: Correct -- it supplied the "B+ voltage' used for the plate and screen circuits Comedian Steven Wright has this question as part of his humor But of course, the fact that we refer to that high voltage line as "B+" is because that voltage was originally supplied by B batteries.

There were 'B' batteries used in the old sets. dxAce Michigan USA |

DXACE exhorted " I'm fairly certain I understand much, much more than you
do." Of course you -- are the DXACE and I but a keyboard in the wilderness But pray tell ACE, what is the origin of the abbreviation DX And can you cite a dictionary or encyclopedia that defines DX ?? -- Keyboard to you "dxAce" wrote in message ... Keyboard In The Wilderness wrote: No you don't understand -- this is a quiz -- I know the answer -- do you ??? I'm fairly certain I understand much, much more than you do. LMAO dxAce Michigan USA |

I know the answer -- but come on DX ace -- tell us what you think as you are

I don't know if they're still made or not. But there were never really and consumer items that were designed for the "B" battery, that's why you never see them. Tony |

B batteries provided the high voltage to the "plates" of tubes. I recall 90
volt units. A batteries provided filament voltage (1.5 volts) to a lot of tubes like the 1EQ5, where the first digiot indicated the filament voltage, and the letters the type of tube characteristics, and the final digit the number of pins that were active. 6 AQ 5 was a 6 volt amplifier with two filment connections, a plate coonection and two grids. However sometimes there was a cathode too (I'm getting hazy on this stuff), maybe the filament didn't count as two. |

Many antique radios used 'B' batteries. I had one once. dxAce Michigan USA |
