PREFACE The first edition of the German version of my book DER ELEKTRONENSTRAHLOSZILLOGRAF was sold out within a year and stocks of the reprint were exhausted within the following ten months. The English edition THE CATHODE RAY OSCILLOSCOPE was also received with considerable interest and generally good reviews. It could, therefore, be assumed that the presentation of the subject matter was such as to satisfy the highest standards. Since the completion of the original manuscript the technique of the electron cathode ray oscilloscope has in many ways substantially advanced and the field of application of this instrument has consequently widened so that it seemed no longer justified once again to issue a reprint of this book or even consider a so-called enlarged and revised edition. Thoroughly revising parts of my first book and enlarging it with essential supplementary material - in particular with regard to modern measuring techniques - made it necessary to publish a new version in 1959 under the title OSZILLOGRAFEN-MESSTECHNIK. The great success of the English translation of the first edition also warranted the issue of an English translation of the new version. A translation of this kind and the work involved unfortunately requires a not inconsiderable amount of time. We have, however, made use of this time by making some further smaller and larger alterations to the text as well as adding important supplementary material. Thus this version likewise presents a comprehensive picture of up-to-date developments in equipment and measuring technique. This meant in detail that some chapters of Part I, again dealing with the instrument itself, were incorporated without substantial alterations as developments here were more or less completed. The new English version, however, is enlarged by a chapter on "Display Storage Tubes". Others again - in particular the chapters on "Time Base Generator" and "Deflection Amplifier" - had to be thoroughly revised and enlarged. Furthermore, in the present English version a new chapter was introduced discussing the sampling oscilloscope. Part II dealing with general measuring techniques has also been supplemented. Part III in particular has been greatly enlarged. Examples from different fields of practical oscilloscope measuring techniques including several in which measurements of non-electrical values are discussed, are now described in detail in 18 chapters and the evaluation of the oscillograms is discussed at great length. Chapter 19 "Investigation into TV Technique" - has been completely re-written for the English edition, with a great number of new oscillograms. Owing to the considerably higher measuring accuracy of modern cathode ray oscilloscopes the photog
