This rectifier type had the distinction in 1933 of being Marconi – Osram’s first ever indirectly heated rectifier valve. Many other manufacturers developed and marketed an equivalent with Mazda introducing the equivalent UU4 and UU5 in 1935 and 1936 respectively.

This is a rare GEC version made at the shaw WW2 shadow factory.
