The A50A branded as Ever Ready was made for them by Mullard and is a Mullard Type SP4. When originally introduced it was fitted with a B5 base cap.

The exhibit is new and was donated in its original box. It was expensive as the box is priced at 20/7 including purchase tax.
The classic envelope is 47 mm in diameter and, excluding the B7 base pins, is 125 mm tall.
