Examples of thermionic tube
thermionic tube
For their own purposes the physicists promptly constructed thermionic-tube equipment capable of counting electrical impulses at the rate of 100,000 a second.

If necessary, it could be made extremely fast by substituting thermionic-tube switching for mechanical switching, so that the full selection could be made in one one-hundredth of a second.

While Fleming's valve was a great stride forward it would take some years before thermionic, or vacuum tube technology was fully adopted.

The current through the filaments causes them to heat up and emit electrons into the tube gas by thermionic emission.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A cathode made of a wire filament heated red hot by a separate current passing through it would release electrons into the tube by a process called thermionic emission.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A cold-cathode vacuum tube does not rely on external heating of an electrode to provide thermionic emission of electrons.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These systems keep the cathodes of the fluorescent tube fully heated even as the arc current is reduced, promoting easy thermionic emission of electrons into the arc stream.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The increased power dissipation at tube ends also usually means cold cathode tubes have to be run at a lower loading than their thermionic emission equivalents.
