Notes:

Marconi-Osram Radio Valve Type DE6, dating from 1925, and suited to the amplification of audio, driven by loud speakers. Construction is classic horizontal co-axial configuration, with a single strand filament at the centre of a bright anode cylinder. The grid is a fine wire helix that stands on and above the support rod, which is fixed at both ends. In silvered glass balloon envelope, with polished bakelite base and four brass? base pins. The BBC logo ("ENTIRELY BRITISH MANUFACTURE") was employed between September 1924 and 1927, and is a good indication of date of origin. Previously catalogued with Marconi Receiver Type 226B (Inv.
