I must have had that book at one time. The page looks familiar and I too remember about "X" ion burns. I think it is because the ions are deflected some and they kind of lag behind the electron deflection, the sweep being rectangular. Maybe the rectangular tubes tended to have stronger fields since the deflection angles were greater because of the more recent design that the round.
