(2)The year shown is when it is believed the type was first issued. This date is accurate for most types but cannot be guaranteed for them all.
(3)Pin-out details for non-exhibits can be found with the base details.
  This table lists valves that were manufactured in the UK or which were claimed to be of UK manufacture. In practice several of the smaller companies imported their valves from abroad.
