9 electordes
(so 7 grids)? That's normally called the nonode in the UK.
The one I remember is the EQ80
That sounds familiar. ?Enneode? is the proper term, since the numbers
in tube types are taken from the greek, not latin. But I suppose the
greek for 9 is not all that widely known.
I had to think for a few seconed (I could easily remember hendeka -- 11
-- for soem reason), and I acutally learnt Greek <mumble> yeas a go.
'Must a gentleman know Latin and Greek?'
'No, but he should have forgotten them' :-)
