West. Elect. 217-A (experimental)
Half-Wave Rectifier
~1922


This was an experimental version of the 217-A rectifier made in the New York labs about 1922. The plate structure was from the standard repeater tubes but with reduced spacing. This tube met the electrical specs for the 217-A but was redesigned using a corrugated type plate before being released.
