The PCF802 was designed as the first stages in television line frequency generation prior to the line output stage. The pentode is described by Mullard as the oscillator while the triode is for service as a reactance valve. This suggests the triode acting as a frequency controlling stage.
The end wall of the anode has holes and within is the suppressor grid support rod. The winding can also be seen through the square notches.
The construction follows the familiar pattern with the two sections separated by a screen and the triode is mounted normal to the pentode.
This image is of another example of the PCF802 and reveals greater detail.
The pentode on the left is oriented at 90 degrees to the triode on the right.
The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is 46 mm tall.
