Summary

Output pentode introduced by Marconi-Osram in 1929. The 4 pin base carried the filament, plate and control grid connections; the screen connection was a side terminal. This was done so that the valve could be used in place of a triode by simply plugging it in and connecting the side terminal to the plate supply. 4 volt directly heated cathode. Used as a Class A power output amplifier.
