Description

This tube is listed on page 762 of the Fall 1929m issue of the Sears Roebuck catalog, along with a range of Silvertone receiving tubes. It is a quick starting half wave rectifier type suitable for charging accumulators. It was widely used for carging 6 volt car batteries, A radio batteries and a wide range of other applications. The tube is rated at a maximum average anode current of 5 to 6 amps. The anode is from a strong wire lead at the top of the bulb. The later GE equivalent is the 99X44 and the tube was made by many manufacturers, both in the US and Europe.
