Telefunken Arcotron 201, original German manufacturer literature pages 120 and 122. Early directly heated low-frequency voltage amplifier tube intended only for resistance-coupled audio-frequency amplifier stages. Filament 1.0 V, approximately 0.25 A. Maximum anode current 0.5 mA. Recommended anode load approximately 1 MΩ, with example anode supply 150 V and measured circuit voltage gain approximately 15 at 500 Hz. This is loaded circuit voltage gain, NOT intrinsic triode amplification factor (mu). The 150 V supply is an example operating condition, NOT a published maximum plate-voltage rating. Manufacturer says a conventional static characteristic curve cannot be supplied for Telefunken rod tubes. Mechanical/base references are to other pages not present in this PDF; canonical base unassigned. Do not infer gm, rp, mu, or maximum plate voltage.
