Are you saying that the plate curves for UL on the 6550 look bad because the UL tap is at 43% instead of 40%?Note, "When Hafler & Keroes talked about a 20% tap, they were talking in terms of impedance. This correspondes to a 40% tap in terms of turns ratio. They are actually the same thing but expressed in different units."
"When the screen grid of a tetrode is connected directly to the anode of the tetrode the resulting tube is efiectively a triode"
That is simply not true. Or at the very least, a tetrode connected as a triode does not automatically become a "good" triode.
I think you need to take Hafler/Keroes' words with a grain of salt.
BTW Hafler/Keroes didn't have just one number in mind. It was a range depending on what tube was being used.
"6. The combination in accordance with claim 1 wherein the tube types employed are selected from commercial types 6L6, KT-66, 5881, and 807, and wherein said screen grid loading falls in the range 18 per cent to 26 per cent."
