barrettern.

/bəˈrɛtə/

Etymology: Said to be alt. of Old French barateor barrator n., exchanger.

1903 R. A. Fessenden U.S. Patent 727,331 The hot-wire receiver described..which has been termed a ‘barretter’.

1905 Trans. Internat. Electr. Congress III. 417 The device selected [as a detector for wireless reception]..was the ‘solid barretter’... This consists of a minute loop of very fine platinum wire or filament.

1923 E. W. Marchant Radio Telegr. iv. 44 Other forms of detector for wireless circuits are the electrolytic, the hot wire ‘barretter’ and the crystal.

1935 Wireless World 15 Nov. 522/1 A barretter is a device in which the resistance varies according to the current.

2. A modern adaptation used to stabilize an electrical current.

1940 Chambers's Techn. Dict. 77/2 Barretter, an iron wire resistance mounted in a glass bulb containing hydrogen, and having a temperature coefficient so arranged that the variation of resistance produced ensures that the current in the circuit to which it is connected remains constant over a wide range of voltage.

1942 Electronic Engin. 15 36 The filament heating of the master oscillator is stabilised by a barretter which also contributes to frequency stability.

1943 Electronic Engin. 15 384 The barretter tube, which although fundamentally a current stabiliser does not actually regulate the voltage.
