Abstract
895,799. Glass helix manufacture. MULLARD Ltd. Dec. 23, 1960, No. 44275/60. Class 56. [Also in Group XL (a)] An internally threaded glass helix for a travelling wave tube is formed by winding a threaddetermining metal wire helix on to a cylindrical mandrel, winding a helix of hot soft glass on to the mandrel over the wire helix so that the wire becomes partly embedded in the glass helix, cooling the assembly to harden the glass and separating the glass helix from the mandrel and the wire helix. Before removal from the mandrel, the cooled glass helix may be precision ground to define a cylindrical outer surface. As shown in Fig. 2, a helix 2 of metal wire is wound on a mandrel 1 with further wire helices 3, 4 between so that the surface of the mandrel is substantially covered. The wire helices 3, 4 may be replaced by a tape of metal. The mandrel 1 is then placed in a glass lathe and hot soft glass is wound on to the mandrel to give a helix 5 in which the wire 2 is partly embedded, the wires 3, 4 or the tape preventing the hot glass coming into contact with the mandrel 1. After cooling and grinding, if desired, the mandrel 1 is removed and the wires 2, 3, 4 and/or the tape are dissolved out by a suitable acid to give threads 6 on the inner surface of the glass helix 5. As shown in Fig. 4, a cylindrical mandrel 8 is provided with helical groove 9 in which the helical wire is positioned, the mandrel and wire being dissolved out together after formation of the glass helix 5. A plurality of thread-producing wires 2 may be used to give a multi-start thread. The wires 2, 3, 4 and tape are preferably made of tungsten or molybdenum or an alloy with substantial proportion of either or both metals. The mandrel 8 is preferably of a nickel-chromium alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially the same as that of the glass used in the helix. The helix may be used in a travelling wave tube to support a helical longitudinally-extending slow-wave structure.
