Western Electric introduced this WE-713A pentode in 1943. It was called a mushroom tube, for obvious reasons. Although it has a standard octal base, the electrodes are mounted horizontally inside the small envelope, to allow short connecting leads for high frequency operation. It is a predecessor of the miniature type 6AK5, which was used extensively in radar receiver IF amplifiers from WW II onward.
