Abstract: The disclosed method of forming a control grid assembly having separate co-planar spaced grids for the electron gun of a multibeam cathode ray tube, includes the steps of forming a pair of identical metal wafers having two spaced holes, forming two waferlike insulating members having elongated slots, and forming a flat metal member having a rectangular framelike portion and a plurality of elongated spaced metal fingers extending to opposed frame portions inwardly toward one another within the frame portion and with opposed fingers separated by a distance less than the width of said slots.
