Well, I don't know what Heinz & Kaufmann did, but it's plausible.  My 
TBW uses 800 cycle power for filaments, B+, (500 and 2000 volts) and 
suppressor grid modulation for MCW.  The 8019-A uses dynamotor ac for 
high-level plate MCW modulation, also to light the filaments.  The TBW 
is powered by an 800-1 aircraft inverter, a Screaming-Mimi; I measured 
95 dB at three feet, about the same as a subway train running through 
the shack.  It's in a noise-reducing box, which knocks it down to 50 dB, 
conversation level, which adds ambiance to the shack and impresses 
visitors.  Depending where you stand you hear a distant whine or nothing.
