The amplitude distributions of single-electron pulses (ADSEP) are measured for FEU-83 photomultipliers with local photocathode illumination. It is found that the ADSEP varies as the point of illumination is moved along the diameter of the photocathode perpendicular to the direction of the louver and that an ADSEP with a single-electron peak can be obtained. These variations are related to the flight of photoelectrons past the first dynode.
