An early transistor socket and an integrated circuit socket are included for comparison. Tube sockets are electrical sockets into which vacuum tubes (electronic valves) can be plugged, holding them in place and providing terminals, which can be soldered into the circuit, for each of the pins. Sockets are designed to allow tubes to be inserted ...
A plate, usually called anode in Britain, is a type of electrode that forms part of a vacuum tube. [1] It is usually made of sheet metal, connected to a wire which passes through the glass envelope of the tube to a terminal in the base of the tube, where it is connected to the external circuit.
The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

Pin normally absent 8 - Cathode & Beam-Forming Plates. The 6V6 is a beam-power tetrode vacuum tube.
The crucial invention was to apply soldering to electrical assembly. In soldering, an alloy of tin and lead (and/or other metals), known as solder, is melted and adheres to other, nonmolten metals, such as copper or tinned steel. Solder makes a strong electrical and mechanical connection.

Connectors on this cable would be designated:
External pattress boxes: power and data sockets. A pattress or pattress box or fitting box (in the United States and Canada, electrical wall switch box, electrical wall outlet box, electrical ceiling box, switch box, outlet box, electrical box, etc.) is the container for the space behind electrical fittings such as power outlet sockets, light switches, or fixed light fixtures.
GFCI sockets invariably have rectangular faces and accept so-called Decora face plates, and can be mixed with regular outlets or switches in a multi-gang box with standard cover plates. In both Canada and the US older two-wire, ungrounded NEMA 1 sockets may be replaced with NEMA 5 sockets protected by a GFCI (integral with the socket or with ...
