The filament of the new power amplifier tube Is of the Improved coated ribbon type, which Insures great mechanical strength and long operating life. The plate, which is blackened. Is tall and narrow, as In rectifier tube. The standard the UX or push type base Is used on the new power tube. This new tube will provide a far greater loud speaker volume, without distortion, than has heretofore been possible, especially in conjunction with' auditorium loud speakers and In the operation of a plurality of loud speakers from a common amplifier,' as.
