Again, thanks to everyone who sent me specs, links or manuals.

I thought I should mention, however, that the heater specs for the CK1006 
in Sibley/Tube Lore do not agree with what's in the actual Ratheon handbooks. 
 Sibley says 2.5V/2.0A.  Ratheon says either cold cathode (0V/0A) or 
1.75V/2.0A.  To operate the tubes cold cathode, there is a specified absolute 
minimun striking voltage and an absolute minimum load current.  

The reason I needed the information is that someone I know has several 
PE-237 vibrator power supplies made on various Orders between 1944 and 1951 for 
either SCR-694-C (BC-1306) or AN/GRC-9 (RT-77(*)/GRC-9).  He is trying to 
get some of them working.  In several editions of the TM's over the period 
1944-1956, the schematics vary.  Some show a rectifier filament transformer 
winding for the 1006 and some show no connection to its pin 1.  Until I 
discovered that the tube could be operated cold cathode, we were looking at having 
to tear into the units to correct what looked like an error in the 
schematic.
