A Crookes Tube is an early experimental electrical discharge tube... a straight line. maltese cross crookes tube physics electron emission ...This item was used at the Ballarat School of Mines Physics department until the 1970s-1980s to demonstrate that electrons have a straight line. A sealed conical glass tube, equipped with two electrical connections. One, at the narrow end, terminated inside with a sic shape electrode and faces a cross-shapped aluminium steel target near wide end. Other electrode is side branch, which also provided means of mounting on a polished wood circular stand. A Crookes Tube is an early experimental electrical discharge tube, with partial vacuum, invented by English physicist William Crookes and others around 1869-1875, in which cathode rays, streams of electrons, were discovered. May also be called a Crookes–Hittorf tube or Maltese Cross Tubemaltese cross, crookes tube, physics, electron emission demonstration, cathode rays, vacuum tube, electrons, crookes–hittorf tube, maltese cross tube -

A Crookes tube is an early experimental electrical discharge tube ...A Crookes tube is an early experimental electrical discharge tube, invented by English physicist William Crookes and others around 1869-1875, in which cathode rays, streams of electrons, were discovered. Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays using the Crookes tube in 1895. The term is also used for the first generation, cold cathode X-ray tubes, which evolved from the experimental Crookes tubes and were used until about 1920.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_tube)Glass vacuum tube with a metal maltese cross inside.

Correspondence, Letters from A. Gallenkamp & Co to the Ballarat School of Mines, 1898, 1898
... martell x-ray xray rontgen tubes crooks tubes uranium tubes Two ...Two hand written letters relating to orders from the Ballarat School of Mines .1) 31 March 1898 Dear Sir, In reply to your favor of 23 February we have nearly all the apparatus now ready you were good enough to order. I've [illegible] here 12 cases [illegible] fomr Robinson's goods we likely had to wait about 5 months for supply from works, the demand having been quite extraordinary this year. Ou people [illegible] are so busy with Rontgen ray tubes that we cannot get crokes ad Uranium tubes as quickly as we should like. Yours are not yet to hand, have however a promise of delivery very shortly when all goods will be ready for dispatch. Now we have [illegible] in our very large new warehouses in Sun Street, we are importing [illegible] and other glass goods in four or five times the quantity, we could store in our old place, so that we shall hold presently the August stock of glass apparatus in London, enabling us to fill orders of every size in much shorter issue.
