Abstract
Abstract The tube is cut along two of its generatrices 14 and 24, over the whole of its length, and the two halves 12 and 22 thus obtained receive a secondary electron emissive coating on their inner walls. The two halves are then replaced in their initial position relatively to one another.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A method of manufacturing tubes for tubular electronmultipliers comprising the following steps: cutting the tube over the whole of its length along two of its generatrices, depositing on the inner wall of the two tube halves thus obtained a resistive layer having secondary electron emission properties, replacing, after processing, the two tube halves in their initial position in relation to one another and maintaining them in this position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
68 words
A method of manufacturing tubes for tubular electronmultipliers comprising the following steps: cutting the tube over the whole of its length along two of its generatrices, depositing on the inner wall of the two tube halves thus obtained a resistive layer having secondary electron emission properties, replacing, after processing, the two tube halves in their initial position in relation to one another and maintaining them in this position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method of manufacturing the tubes of tubular eleCtron-multipliers as claimed in claim 1, in which said tubes are rectilinear.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method of manufacturing the tubes of tubular electron-multipliers as claimed in claim 1, in which said tubes are curved.
