The UV201A, introduced in October 1922, has a thoriated tungsten filament and replaced the UV201. In 1923 it was the most widely sold valve in the USA.
By the end of 1922 RCA held exclusive patents.
The valve is fully gettered and the hard vacuum valve has replaced the soft valves. The box indicates that the UV201A is intended for both detection and amplification.
