888,896. Cathode-ray storage tubes. ENGLISH ELECTRIC VALVE CO. Ltd. Dec. 2, 1959 [June 26, 1959], No. 21946/59. Class 39(1) [Also in Group XL(c)] A signal storage tube provides output signals representative of the difference in amplitude of modulating signals applied thereto and comprises a storage target with a plurality of discrete conductive storage elements, two conductive electrodes fed with different potentials, closely adjacent to but spaced from the storage elements by material normally an insulator but which exhibits conductivity under the impact of an electron beam and which extends between and in contact with each said conductive electrode and said elements; means for providing two writing electron beams scanned across the storage target in such manner that one beam scans the material closely adjacent one of the conductive electrodes and said elements while the other beam scans the material closely adjacent the other conductive electrode and said elements; means for modu- 1ating said beams in accordance with applied signals whereby said elements adopt potentials intermediate said bias potentials and representative of the difference in amplitude of said modulating signals and means including a reading electron beam adapted to be scanned across the elements for taking off stored signals from the storage target. The signals can be positive or negative with positive bias on the guns. Where it is desired to obtain output signals representative of the difference in amplitude of positive and negative signals the positive signals modulate one beam and the signals dependent on the negative signals and rendered positive in known mannner are arranged to modulate the other beam. The target may comprise gold islands 6, Fig. 2, deposited on a layer 7 of BIC material and is scanned by two writing guns and has strip electrodes 8, 9. The storage target is made by evaporation and/or chemical deposition of the islands on layer 7 which is itself formed by vaporisation. 5, Fig. 1, is the reading gun. Electrodes 8, 9 are separately connected to the two ganged wipers of a switch. The velocity of the reading beam is below the first crossover so the islands are stabilised at cathode potential or the reading gun may be switched off and the writing beam scans with both electrodes 8, 9 at cathode potential. The reading gun is now switched off and positive and negative voltages of equal value applied to electrodes 8, 9. The two writing beams are switched on. To the control grids of the electron guns 1, 2 are applied the modulating signals those of positive polarity being applied to one gun and those of negative polarity being applied to the other. Signals may be applied positively or negatively. Writing may be a number of times before reading out. In an alternative form Fig. 3 (not shown) electrodes 8, 9 are on the same side of layer 7 as island 6 and a signal plate is arranged on the other side. In Fig. 4 the parts are carried on an insulating layer 12 and T are BIC layers. The reading beam may have a velocity below that of the first secondary emission cross-over or above the second cross-over or between the two cross-overs. The secondary electrons are collected by a positive biased electrode such as an apertured mesh. When the reading beam has a velocity below that of the first secondary emission cross-over it gives up electrons to the storage target in dependence upon the potentials stored thereon, the remaining electrons in the beam being reflected from the storage target and collected by suitable electrodes. The two writing beams may be derived from a single electron gun whose electron beam is split in well known manner, the two parts of the split beam being separately modulated by the signals to be stored. A separate reading gun may not be necessary as one or both of the writing guns may be used also for reading.
