Is there such a statement from Eimac, Carl?
In the horizontal test I conducted on a 3-500Z, with 5 volts on the
filament, there was little movement in the filament helices during one
month of operation.
- 5 volts on the filaments results in a filament temp. of c. 1820
degrees K. I do not believe that tungsten wire is going to sag much at
room temperature.
