content: A 4-pin plastic base with tipless domed envelope. Stamped: "649". Donor's card reads: "Half wave mercury rectifier made by Taylor Tubes Inc. of Chicago before 1937. Originally made for use in amateur radio transmitters where the high voltage needs were not sufficient to justify the use of a type 866 rectifier. Filament: 2.5 volts at 2.5 amperes. When used in pairs as a full wave rectification, two tubes will give 250 milliamperes at 1000 volts DC."
