The CV1988 is the UK government Common Valve version of the 6SN7GT double triode valve. Each half of the valve is electrically equal to the 6J5 triode.
This exhibit is marked as equivalent to the 6SN7GTY and thus has the wood-loaded phenolic base cap for better AC performance than Bakelite.
The top mica showing the grid supports and round cathode tube.
The wide glass tube envelope is 29 mm in diameter and, excluding the IO base pins, is 69 mm tall.
References: Data-sheet, 1040 & 1043. Type CV1988 was first introduced in 1941. See also 1941 adverts.
