Third element in the vacuum tube
The article explains a three electrode vacuum tube as a rectifier and current controller. It notes grid polarity controls electron flow between filament and plate, enabling high frequency rectification for radio use. Fleming’s valve is cited as an early two-electrode rectifier precursor.

Early three electrode vacuum tube fuels radio progress
The article explains how Lee DeForest added a third grid electrode to the Fleming valve, creating a three electrode vacuum tube. The grid serves as a control element, enabling small signal currents to regulate larger plate currents, a key step in modern radio technology.
