Marconi MKT4 pentode.

Size

This 7 pin valve measures 132x55mm overall. The 5 pin example measures 110x45mm overall and has a side connector on the base.

The 7-pin example is a pentode with the suppressor grid connected internally to the cathode. However the Osram data indicates it is a beam tetrode, a fact verified by examination of the 5-pin example.
