[Boatanchors] JAN 576A data sheet??

[ELDIM]

Hello Luca,
I find a NSN 5960-00-296-9997 for a glass envelope 576A Electron Tube.  It
is listed as a CLIPPER DIODE. I have not located a Physical Discription,
Function or Characteristics for the 576 as of now.
I found a data sheet on the 575A  on the web, which is a MERCURY VAPOR 1/2
WAVE RECTIFIER.
The FED LOG only shows UNITED ELECTRONIC CO., NEWARK, NEW JERSEY as
providing this tube to the U.S. Government.  The Ministry of Defense in U.K.
has this valve identified as a CV-5150.
Do you have a manufacturer name or a physicals discription?
The tube references that I have looked at so far ONLY show the 575 and then
jumps to 577.
