 Yes.  The ''glitch'' resistor.  A glitch resistor limits fault current.  
 It is not a fuse.  It must be able to discharge the hv supply filter C 
 without sustaining any damage.

RICH: IN MY 30L-1 COLLINS USES TWO "TWO WATT" 10 OHM CARBON RESISTOR'S IN 
PARALLEL......TO ME THIS CANT BE A "GLITCH" RESISTOR (WAY TOO SMALL) SO I 
GUESS IT'S A FUZE, OR MAYBE A FIRECRACKER?? WHAT WAS COLLINS THINKING??
