WINGHAM, ONTARIO Anse,—Ballast tubes are vaccuum tubes used to maintain a constant current in a circuit. These tubes con- sist• of a filament, the resistance of t which changes considerably with the temperature. When too much curr- ent flows in the circuit, the extt•a heat produced in the filament of the ball- ast tube automatically raises the re- sistance t0 a point where it reduces the current back to its normal value. These tubes are often used in 13 bat- tery eliminators to protect the receiv- er from fluctuations in voltage whiel, may occur in the'house lighting;Iines.
