  • the relation between the adjustable resistors 33 and 35 and the associated capacicumstances the RC-circuit with the shorter charging time causes a substantial increase of the potential at the cathode 490i the tube 22 during the first portion of an exposure, while the RC-circuit with the longer charging time causes the potential rise at the cathode 49 to continue for a longer period commencing with the start of the exposure. Nevertheless the operating voltages involved remain comparatively low.
