Nice reference, John. The old original ones are often the best.

Do you have the title and author of the whole document?

Rex:
"Manual of Vacuum Practice", by L.H Martin.
I found it in Amazon. If everything goes well, I will order one soon:

EDIT:
John:
I see in the text that there is a reference to Appendix 12, which should cointain tabulated tables for tube characteristics. ¿Could you please post it?
I would be extremely grateful.

Obviously, there is no rush whatsoever.
Thank you very much! I have been searching info on this type of vacuum gauge for about a month with very little success until now.

Cai, please avoid quoting. It is just not done here. We are intelligent people and can remember posts within a single thread. We don't need to re-read over and over again.

If you find any quoting in the vast collection of thousands of posts here, you will find that at some point, we have asked the new person to avoid quoting.

Richard:
You are correct. I did it by impulse from other forums, sorry. I will not make the same mistake again.

Books are not made like this anymore....
I bet a new book would provide a reference to some obscure paper containing this data without actually posting it and assuming the reader can access it...
Thanks for posting it!
