[edit] Other uses

Im sure Ive heard of barretters being used as early forms of surge arrestor. Has anyone else? (I could have dreamt it tho'!)--Light current 02:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barretter photo

Image:Bareters 085b55 12.jpg is not a hot wire barretter - demodulating detector. This is barretter for electric current stabilization, but not radio frequency demodulation! --ScAvenger lv 19:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iron hydrogen barretter

I might be wrong but ISTR iron wire hydrogen filled barretters being used as constant current devices to stabilise power feed. Tabby (talk) 10:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
