Published characteristics/ratings were promoted when unambiguous; remaining operating values are preserved in TUBE_SECTION_PARAMETER. Marconi DH high-efficiency receiving triode for grid-leak or anode-bend detection and first low-frequency amplification in DC mains sets. Approximate operating plate voltage: grid-leak/power-grid detector 50–150 V; anode-bend detector 100–200 V with grid bias -2 to -6 V; amplifier 100–200 V with appropriate negative bias. These are operating ranges, not explicit absolute limits.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
