Definitions

  • This invention relates to electronic circuits-tor controlling the electron beam of a cathode ray tube, particularly for correcting the undeflected spot positions of a multiple gun cathode ray tube.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the invention.

  • and 22 provide the deflection potentials for the deflection plate sets 3 and I4. These output tubes 2
  • a suitable resistor is provides cathode bias potential.
