What is filament transformer?

In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own separate transformer. Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors came along.
