This is very interesting, because it contradicts what I've believed: 
that the 572B offers no additional power output over the 811A unless you 
raise the plate voltage.  But this bulletin says that simply plugging 
them into a 30L1 and increasing drive will increase power output by 33%. 
  What's the truth here?
