Just call me Anna Rosanna Danna.  I was thinking GL446 lighthouse that
was used in last ASBs*.  Don't think '268/'516 got outa acorn regime.

GL446 I think turned to 2C40.  Dunnoi which 'GL' was oilcan version called
2C43 or it's bigger cuz, 2C39.

Is that GL434 octal based.  Coaxial based?

This looks like a job for Sibley's Tube lore

'Scuse the 'GL misfire'

SAY AIN'T THE '268 AN INDUSTRIAL TRIUMPH?  TOOK ALL THOSE TRUCKS, $$,
TRAINING JUST TO DIRECT SEARCHLIGHTS.  MY AMAZEMENT NEVER QUITS
