| This photoelectric relay was made by G-M Laboratories, Inc. as catalogue number 1224, and sold by the Chicago Apparatus Company. The vacuum photoelectric tube is at the left on the wooden breadboard, and has the usual cylindrical cathode half- surrounding the anode wire. The signal from the anode leads to the control grid of the [missing] type 46 tetrode vacuum tube. The plate current drives a small relay, which, in turn drives a larger relay. The tall black cylinder at the right with the perforated cover is a ballast resistor. The date of the apparatus is probably mid-1930s. It is in the Greenslade Collection. |
