In a cathode ray tube experiment, the CRT would be the area of interest and electrons are ejected from the cathode into the tube and are incident on the glass behind the anode. The statement that cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place is slightly misleading. This is because oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously (have to).
Cathode "rays" had been known for some time before Thomson. They were first observed as experiments in gas discharge tubes started to exploit better and better vacuums (the early experiments observed the varying forms of discharge in low pressure gases; cathode rays only become significant when there is very little gas left in the tubes).
Why cathode rays are produced if pressure of the gas discharge tube is lowered to about $10^{-4}$ atm? How bombardment of glass of gas discharge tube from cathode ray result in a faint glow?

Happy birthday, boob tube! Well, almost. The cathode-ray tube, the technology that made television sets possible, was patented 100 years ago today. But it would be a slow slog before TV took over our ...
When I was a kid, all we had were the fat TVs that were stuffed with cathode ray tubes. I can recall my grandmother having a really old TV that you had to turn on and wait until the cathode tubes ...
