Abstract: A PLURALITY OF ELONGATED TUBULAR ELECTRON TUBE ELECTRODES ARE DISPOSED INTO NESTED RELATIONSHIP ON A JIG WITH BOTH THEIR LEADING AND TRAILING ENDS BEING DISPOSED RELATIVELY RAMDOMLY WITH RESPECT TO ONE ANOTHER. THE TRAILING ENDS ARE GATHERED INTO A PREDETERMINED ARRAY AND A FIRST SPACER PLATE IS MOUNTED THEREON TO FIX THE ORIENTATION OF THESE ENDS. THE ELECTRODES ARE THEN REMOVED FROM THE JIG, INVERTED, AND

MOUNTED ON A JIG WITH THE FIXED ENDS CLOSEST TO THE JIG AND THE OTHER ENDS PROJECTING THEREFROM. THE PROJECTING ENDS ARE THEN GATHERED AND A SECOND SPACER PLATE IS MOUNTED THEREON TO FIX THEIR ORIENTATION.
