  NOTE  Care should be taken in interpreting these figures as the ratings are not directly comparable on 
  account of variations in the permitted capacitative loading and minimum series resistance requirements.  
  Full specifications should be taken into account when considering type interchange.    
  D=Direct Heater,  I=Indirect,  D= Half Indirect - cathode connected to one end of filament.
