Such an explanation might start by describing the circuit conditions
that result from following the manufacturer’s tuning procedures.
On an old tube transmitter, e.g. a Globe Scout, when the manufacturer
specifed a particular grid current and a particular plate current,
does that imply a particular single resistive load line for the final
tube? Why were those particular grid and load currents chosen? Maximum
efficiency? Tube life? Minimum distortion?
