Incidentally, one huge drawback with thermionic valves was the thermy bit. They produced masses of heat.

No need of central heating in an equipment room, in fact many required shorts and t-shirts as standard wear all year round.
Think how we felt at Digby - underground with over 100 operators each with 2 RA17s…
