National Union Type 6170 Radial Beam-Switching Commutator Tube
Tube commutateur (à faisceau radial concentré)
Schalterröhre

25 channels multiple grid magnetically focused and deflected radial beam tube used in transmission of multiplexed channels over a single carrier. The tube needs an externally applied rotating magnetic field to focus and rotate the beam.

Normally, the 6170 was a 6324 with the mounting rings and posts omitted, looking like a giant acorn tube. This one came furnished with the same special 33-pin base as the 6324.
