The Army Receiving valve AR is fitted to the 'old interservice base' also known as I/S4. The anode and grid are brought out to opposite sides to give maximum separation and minimum interaction between input and output circuits.

It is believed that the AR was very similar to the M-OV DER but this military valve was made by several of the valve companies.
The triode is formed within a cylindrical anode and the filament is a single strand of thoriated tungsten wire.
