Known as `tubes' in America. Valves were glass containers where electrodes where encased in a vacuum. E.g. a diode valve would have two electrodes, an anode and a cathode there would also be two pins for the heater. The heater would `boil' electrons off the cathode to be captured by the anode (clearly this would only work one way). A triode valve would also have a grid to control electrode flow, other valves with more grids for finer control would be named according to the number of electrodes discounting the heater pins in the count.
