The E2362 is the experimental Type designation for what became the CV415 (Both designations appear on the envelope).
The B9G base is an early form of all glass construction with narrow short pins set equi-spaced around a circle. A metal base plate with a locating spigot protects the evacuation pip. A part height screening sleeve also acts to hold the spigot plate in place.
This RF Power Double Beam Tetrode is of the American pattern with two separate valves within the envelope. The anode forms a rectangular box that encloses the valve electrodes. The screen grid is presented as a common connection for both valves.
The KB/ZD identifies this valve as being made to specification K1001 or K1006, the B denotes qualification by a UK authority and the ZD identifies the maker as MOV, Dover, pre Dec 1956.
The beam plate of the near section extends beyond the anode. Note the location key on the spigot.
The twin valve sections either side of the envelope.
Here the two halves of the anode can be seen to be welded to the support rod. Although not visible the cathode is a flattened tube with rounded sides.
The wide glass tube glass envelope is 40 mm diameter and, excluding the B9G base pins, is 67 mm tall.
