That is quite a surprise. I always thought the "KT" series was 
mid-1950's.  Maybe that's because of when they became really popular and 
well known in the hi-fi hobby.  The British were often many years ahead 
of US manufacturers in home sound equipment,  and their analog discs 
were often far superior,  even when the same master recording was used. 
Did any British or other military radios use the KT series?  They could 
have an advantage in SSB transmitters over other transmitting tubes 
because of better linearity.  Bruce Gentry  KA2IVY
