							| Description | 
							
								 
	Shortpath is a Cosmos brand, see Keith R. Thrower, British Radio Valves, page 48. Probably an anglicised version of the WD11 from the USA. 
	According to Tyne (pp.373, 374) there are three variants: 
	- SP18/B 
	- SP18/G 
	- SP18/R 
	in the Benjamin Catalog all SP18 are tubular, although Tyne shows an SP18/G having a globe shape. Error? 
	The SP18 without dot or suffix (B, G, R) is definitely existing (see photo)

	You reach this tube or valve page from a search 
after clicking the "tubes" tab or by clicking a tube 
on a radio model page. You will find thousands 
of tubes or valves with interesting links. You 
even can look up radio models with a certain tube 
line up.
