on G1, the electrons from the cathode are repelled somewhat, and the screen
appears darker. The greater the voltage on G1, the darker the screen becomes, because more electrons reaching the screen equals a brighter image, and less electrons hitting the screen equals less brightness."

I believe that the above quote is coinfusing, IMHO it should read: " The greater the NEGATIVE voltage on G1 the darker the screen becomes"
