Don't be  mislead by the missing flux on the capacitor. It should have flux 
at 0,  180, and 360 degrees for it to function as a triode connected flux 
gate  capacitor. Zero degrees being connected to the filament transformer as 
a  cathode, 180 degrees swinging negative depending on the bias voltage and  
360 degrees connetced in series with the plate of the output  tube.

It was probably an early "audiophool" add-on to increase the  tessatura of 
the magnetic speakers' reproduction. A definite nifty  device!
