 | | Grid bias was required, to hold the grids negative, demanding low voltages at small currents, and the corresponding battery was the C battery. |
 | | The screen grid is usually bypassed to ground by a capacitor, whose reactance at the lower corner frequency should be smaller than the resistance connecting the screen grid to B+. |
 | | The suppressor grid, when connected to the cathode, does indeed send secondary electrons back to the plate, but it is evident that it also affects the distribution of the cathode current between plate and screen, and the effect of secondary electrons is not as great as it may seem. |
