The stream of electrons in a Crookes tube was long ago thought to be a ray, and the terminology is still a part of our language as in cathode ray tube which is often used as a synomyn for an ocilloscope tube or TV picture tube. Neil Ccpoodle 00:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I can't find any reference to Crookes tubes using a heated cathode, as the article and diagram show. These references describe Crookes tubes as cold cathode tubes: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 The significant experiments on cathode rays using Crookes tubes, done by Hittdorf, Crookes, Goldstein, Plucker, Lenard, Rontgen, and J. J. Thompson, as far as I can tell, seem to have used cold cathode tubes. Although thermionic emission, the 'Edison effect', was discovered by Edison in 1880, and could have been used to generate cathode rays, it was a curiosity and not understood. Does anybody have any info about this? -- Chetvorno TALK 18:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
If Crookes invented this, then is it not Crookes' tube? — Anonymous Dissident Talk 12:45, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
This article says that J.J. Thomson named the electron. The article on George Johnstone Stoney says the he named the electron. Okay, who was it? Rsduhamel ( talk) 00:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
The term electron was coined by Stoney. Aditya2603 ( talk) 01:53, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
What version of the device is Crooke's holding in this Vanity Fair cartoon? Drutt ( talk) 09:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
The articles on Discharge tube, Vacuum tube, Crookes tube, and Geissler tube have a lot in common, and if amalgamated would give a better picture of the subject. Also, the history of these tubes needs the attention of an expert; the articles are somewhat Anglo-Saxon in outlook with little in-depth treatment of the German research in this area of over thirty years before Crookes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.232.197.233 ( talk) 17:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Is there any difference between them or are they the same ? Aditya2603 ( talk) 01:52, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
