Synopsis
A nationally-aired promotional spot for the Wuerth Tube-Saver. The Wuerth Tube-Saver is a device that protects lamps and old vacuum tube televisions from the surge of electricity that occurs when they are powered on. This "surge protection" extends the life of the devices plugged into it. The main component of the Wuerth Tube-Saver is a Surgistor(TM), a type of thermal resistor. Both the Surgistor(TM), another invention by Mr. Robert C. Wuerth, and the Wuerth Tube-Saver represent early research and development of the modern surge protector. The Wuerth Tube-Saver was issued a patent on July 24, 1956 (U.S. Patent # 2,756,382). It was manufactured by Wuerth Tube-Saver Corporation of Detroit, Michigan.
