Abstract
A discharge tube arrangement, for example, a thyratron, in accordance with the invention has a first electrode arranged co-axially about a second electrode. Thus, in a thyratron, the anode may surround the cathode or vice versa. The envelope may be tubular having an aperture at its center. The discharge tube arrangement is constructed such that it is capable of being added to another such arrangement. A plurality of such arrangements may be added together to produce, for example, a thyratron capable of large current conduction.
