Later 201A was understood as a general name for the UX201A, even shorter '01A'.

Variants

This tube was made by N V Philips in Holland about 1924-25, in an attempt to sell tubes to the US. GE/RCA filed four patent infringement suits against Philips. Both companies realised that years of litigation might follow and agreed to a compromise: GE/RCA and Philips would share patent rights and Philips would stay out of GE territory.

DYNETRON and DYN-A-BLUE were brands of Magnite Labs, P.O. Box 472, Newark. Saga of the Vacuum Tube, Tyne, p.354
