ON TRIODES, PENTODES & IRISHMEN: ( Continued )PENTODES: (Continued) Thus the proper cocktail waitress - visible through the louvers - is scantily clad so as to be all themore effective at reinforcing the attractive influence of her bar and by being located in between the door and the bar, she serves asbait to lure customers past the door’s negative influence. Once through the door however, it is the rare Irishman who actually comesin personal contact with the cocktail waitress as, for all intents and purposes, she - like the screen grid - turns out to be a vanishingillusion. Yet, having come this far, the solid influence of the bar itself now takes over and attracts the customers to congregate, havinghappily reached their destination.If you’re still following this and haven’t lost track of the count, you’ll know we’re still one element short of the five needed to make aPentode. This last part is a pair of beam-confining shields which being negatively charged, serve to direct the flow right toward theplate. This is much the way a short entrance hall to the bar prevents wandering accidentally into the Men’s room on the way.Once at the bar though, the circuit is complete and the process of soul-nourishing works its ritual magic. Biases having been overcome,illusory nightingales having vanished, the spirits truly soar and the once surly Irishmen now are filled with warmth, wit and kindredfriendship, enjoying the music and glowing nicely with their heaters on.With appreciative thanks to the inhabitants of the Land of the Leprechaun, we have now concluded our little diversion into the mechanicsof proper bar lay-out.A feature article by Randall SmithDesigner / PresidentPAGE 32
