LARGE SCALE ELECTRONICS by John Sykes
Present interest in transmitting large quantities of electrical power by using high-voltage direct current-as in the cross-channel power cable-has led to the development of enormous valves basically the same as the valves in a radio, but often weighing five tons each. John Sykes describes the problems involved in making such valves, and the way in which they are used.
