What sort of analyzer test was that used for? I used to use photomultiplier tubes in nuclear radiation monitors. The radiation would cause flashes of light when captured in a transparent crystal material. The photons would cause electrons to be emitted from the cathode in the tube. The electrons would be accellerated to an anode. When they struck the anode a shower of electrons would be emitted. These would be accellerated to the next anode which was at a higher voltage, and etc.. It took 800 to 1200 volts to make the tube work. The various anodes and the cathode were connected to taps on a voltage divider. The gain of the tube was adjusted by adjusting the high voltage. The current from the last anode would go to a milliampmeter or to a pulse amplitude analyzer. They are still used for this purpose as they are more sensitive than solid state devices. The Harshaw Chemical Co. of Cleveland Ohio used to make them and kept large numbers of them on burn-in. The ones that exhibited good stability at high gain over a long period of time brought very high prices.
