Yes you are absolutely correct. The Moray Radiant Energy Device as
demonstrated all through the 30's had both the Moray Valve (the germanium
point contact device) and two or more "composition cylinders" or homemade
tubes. These are not tubes that were commercially available. Hence, not the
tubes Tesla used in his electric car demo.
