The 913 is a 1936 one inch CRT in a metal envelope. When released by RCA the price was considerably lower than the same sized CRTs then available.
The tube produces a green trace with a medium persistence phosphor. The final anode and one side of the deflection plates are brought out to a single pin and thus the deflection is for single ended amplifiers only.
RCA introduced the Model 151 general purpose oscilloscope in late 1936 and used the 913 as the tube.
