American usage

[edit]

The article mainly documents American naming conventions. The A, B and C battery designations were never used in British English, and possibly in other international English variants too. A = LT (Low Tension), B = HT (High Tension), and C = GB (Grid Bias). The article would be improved if expanded to document non-American naming conventions properly. Unfortunately I don't have time to do this myself at the moment. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 21:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now documented BE nomenclature within the article. It would be helpful if editors in other English speaking countries (Australia, India etc.) could document their local usage. I would expect Canadians to use American nomenclature, as they did with most aspects of tube/valve technology. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 09:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have added redirects for LT Battery, HT Battery and GB Battery. --Ef80 (talk) 10:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A, B and C battery was the normal usage in the Australian Army up until the valve sets were finally replaced (the VHF CPRC-26 type D or 26 set and the HF WS A-510 were still in use in training in the 1970s). Andrewa (talk) 15:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
