Hello,

I was just looking on the web for the large air cooled tube I remember, 
and I found a photo of a Western Electric tube that looks quite a lot 
like the one I have in mind, although the size isn't given. Here is the 
photo:

And just in case if the direct link to the photo doesn't work, it's on 
this page, about 20% down.

This COULD be the same tube the Radio Club Concepcion had on display, 
but I haven't seen that one in 25 years, so I'm not sure.

Anybody knows this bottle? Is this really a transmitting tube, as stated 
on the page? It seems to have just two pins at the base. The handle-like 
structure might be the grid connection, though...
