The DEQ was introduced in 1923, and was intended to replace the Q and Qv. The construction is similar to the Q. The filament is a single wire running the length of the envelope and tensioned by a spring at the end opposite the anode and grid supports.
The anode and grid connections on the envelope pass to a shaped piece of glass rod that supports the electrodes. The grid helix is clearly visible in the picture above. A distinctive feature of the DEQ is the green band of paint around the centre of the envelope.
The DEQ is a very high impedance valve and its primary function was as a detector.
The thin glass tube envelope is 17 mm in diameter and, tip to tip measures 73 mm.
