*'''{{Visible anchor|56006}}''' – ''Omegatron'' [[Mass spectrometry|Mass spectrometer]] tube. An [[electron gun]] sends an electron beam through a cavity to an electron collector anode. The cavity contains the gas to be analyzed. The gas is ionized by the electron beam and a magnetic field parallel to the axis of the beam forces the gas ions into a helical path around the beam, the angular velocity depending on the ion mass. An electrode inside the cavity floods it with RF energy from a [[sweep generator]]. When the frequency matches an ion's angular velocity, that ion will resonate and spiral outward like in a [[cyclotron]], eventually hitting an ion collector electrode and generating a current there, which is amplified and measured<ref>[https://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/009/5/56006.pdf 56006 data sheet] • [http://lampes-et-tubes.info/sp/sp091.php?l=e on Lampes-et-tubes]</ref>

===Other systems===
Since the 1930s, several proprietary systems exist. These tend to be used for devices for professional equipment.
Some systems were used by only one manufacturer ([[#List of other letter tubes|{{color|Green|examples}}]]), who sometimes derived a letter prefix from the behavior of devices considered to be exceptional:
Other systems grew into informal standards adopted by many manufacturers for their special-purpose/special-quality tubes:

For the earliest tubes, this letter was optionally followed by a sequentially assigned, single digit ([[#O1915|{{color|Green|examples}}]]); later tubes were assigned numbers according to the following scheme:
*'''1C8''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]], all-glass round cross-section body and circular 8-pin/pigtails base
*'''1E8''' – Heptode pentagrid converter, all-glass round cross-section body, circular 8-pin/pigtails base
*'''1A7GT/DK32''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]], re-engineered version of types '''1A6''' and '''1D7-G''', designed for use in portable AC/DC/Dry-cell battery radios introduced in 1938. Has 1.4 V/50 mA filament
*'''1B7-GT''' – Heptode pentagrid converter, re-engineered version of types '''1C6''' and '''1C7-G''', designed for use in dry-cell battery radios with shortwave bands. Has 1.4 V/100 mA filament
*'''[[1L6]]''' – Heptode pentagrid converter for battery radios with 50 mA filament
*'''1LA6''' (Loctal) and later '''1L6''' (Miniature 7-pin) – Battery heptode pentagrid converter for [[Zenith Electronics|Zenith]] [[Trans-Oceanic]] [[shortwave radio]], 50 mA filament
*'''1LB6''' – Heptode pentagrid converter for battery-operated radios
*'''1R5/DK91''' – Heptode pentagrid converter, anode voltage in the 45...90 volt range
*'''1A6''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]] up to only 10 MHz due to low heater power (2 V/60 mA) and consequent low emission in the oscillator section, also occasionally used as a grid-leak detector
*'''1C6''' – Heptode pentagrid converter; '''1A6''', with double the heater power and double the frequency range
*'''2A7''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]] (Except for heater, electronically identical to types '''6A7''', '''6A8''' and '''12A8''')
*'''6A7''' and '''6A8''' (''PH4'', ''X63'') – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]], based on type '''2A7''', which had a 2.5 volt heater. 6A7 has a UX7 base with top cap connection for [[control grid]] (grid 4). 6A8 is octal version with top cap connection for control grid. Loctal version: type '''7B8'''
*'''6BE6/EK90''', 5750, X727 – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]] (Often encountered in car radios)
*'''6D8-G''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]]; similar to type '''6A8'''. Octal base with top cap. Has 150 mA heater. Used in pre-war 6-volt [[Antique radio#Farm radios|farm radios]]
*'''6L7''' – Heptode [[pentagrid converter]] often used in console radios of the late 1930s. Similar in structure to pentode-triode pentagrid converters '''6SA7''' and '''6BE6''', except that a separate oscillator – usually type '''6C5''' – is required. Also, grid 1 is remote-cutoff control grid, grid 3 is oscillator input grid. (In types 6SA7 and 6BE6, grid 1 is the internal oscillator grid, grid 3 is the control grid) Because of low conversion [[transconductance]], radios using type 6L7 typically have either a tuned RF pre-amplifier stage, or at least two stages of IF amplification. (A few models have both)
*'''6SA7''' – First heptode [[pentagrid converter]]. Octal type. Miniature version: '''6BE6'''

# Battery types, ubiquitous before the 1930s but since then only for mobile/portable equipment with a low-power filament operated usually from 1 to 2 V; all filaments in a design are rated at the same voltage and are connected in parallel. They are usually directly heated to save heating power (therefore requiring a [[Direct current|DC]] current), except if the (due to the voltage [[gradient]] along the filament) poorly defined cathode potential impedes the function of the device, as is the case e.g. with AM [[Detector (radio)|detector]] diodes with filament voltages of 1.9 V or more; in such cases, indirect heaters were employed and marketed as ''[[equipotential]]'' or ''unipotential cathode'' at the time.
