About The Research Lab Library
The Research Lab Library is a curated collection of resources on neon and plasma—spanning history, science, artist practice, and learning materials. Each entry provides direct access to archives, articles, and media that support contextual writing and research, with sources cited for deeper exploration.
Handbook of Electron Tube and Vacuum Techniques
by Fred Rosebury (Addison‑Wesley, 1965) A comprehensive reference on the design, fabrication, and operation of electron tubes and vacuum systems, bridging practical engineering with scientific fundamentals. Rosebury details methods for glass‑to‑metal seals, electrode construction, pumping techniques, and system maintenance, while also covering materials science, leak detection, and instrumentation for high‑vacuum environments. With over 600 pages of technical guidance, the handbook serves as a foundational text for engineers, researchers, and studios working with plasma, neon, and vacuum technologies. Its emphasis on both theoretical principles and hands‑on procedures makes it invaluable for the Taming Lightning Research Lab Library, supporting artistic and scientific applications where precision vacuum practice is essential.
