This is an MOV Type U37 EHT rectifier for oscilloscopes or radar CRTs. It was supplied to enhanced, high reliability, quality standards (hence the Q prefix). The rectifier has an indirectly-heated oxide-coated cathode which is internally connected to the heater. Heater current would normally be supplied via a low-capacity, high frequency transformer powered by the line deflection output or by an auxiliary oscillator.

The voltage rating is quoted as 15 kV PIV (peak inverse volts) and the reservoir capacitor has a maximum value of 0.001 µF. The design maximum DC voltage was 7.500 Volts

The thin glass tube envelope is 12 mm in diameter and, excluding the lead-out is 51 mm tall.
