The '''spiral accelerator''' is a helical resistive coating on a cathode-ray tube designed to minimize beam compression in the post-deflection acceleration system by applying a gradually increasing acceleration voltage along the bulb's length. | The '''spiral accelerator''' is a helical resistive coating on a [[cathode-ray tube]] (CRT), designed to minimize beam compression in the post-deflection acceleration system by applying a gradually increasing acceleration voltage along the bulb's length. | ||
