[Hallicrafters] A question on tube socket pin-out

My references have failed me. I am trying to make a 5-pin to 8-pin
adapter so I can test a five pin tube on my Hickok tube tester. I have
both plug (8 pin) and socket (5 pin). The 8 pin plug is numbered so I
know which pin is 1, 2, etc. which I knew already anyway. I need to
connect pin 1 of the 5 pin socket to pin 1 of the 8 pin plug, 2 to 2, 3
to 3, etc.
But which pin is pin 1 on the five pin socket? One pin is separated
from the other four pins - which pin is it? Can someone point me to a
reference which shows (My RCA RC-21 doesn't show which is pin one)
identified pin layouts.
Thanks.
