CV3521 hydrogen thyratron

|
This valve measures 305x80 mm overall and has a 5 pin base in a B5F pattern |
This is a hydrogen filled positive grid triode thyratron intended for pulse operation
at high peak currents and high voltages. It can be supplied either with or without a reservoir.
The EVS sheet specifies that valves with no reservoir have the words "No Reservoir" printed on the base
and no connection to pin 4. This example has a reservoir.
