According to the ARRL Handbook (1968 edition), the screen resistor must be

quite logical to me.

On the contrary, the EIMAC "Care and feed of power grid tubes" booklet states
that the screen resistor must be connected to the "cold" end of the
secondary.
Their argument is that, when plate voltage increases (due to modulation), the
screen current decreases and so does the voltage across the screen resistor,
thus resulting in a higher screen voltage.

Tony-

What if you connected a capacitor across the screen resistor connected
to the hot end of the transformer? This might tend to keep the DC
voltage drop constant, while coupling more audio to the screen grid.
