That sounds like the amp that was at the dumpster during Nearfest in the 80's that I dragged home in my workhorse 85 Dodge 3/4 ton van with the long wheelbase. Rohn tower sections fit just fine as I was doiing lots of installs.

Too rough to restore but lots of parts, including PS for a homebrew and the HK-254's in parallel fired right up for 160-20M AM. Those tantalum plates loved to glow almost white. Bill Eitel and Jack McCullough left there in 34 to found Eimac and seriously push tantalum plates.

My 1940 Radio Engineers Handbook dated 1943, by Terman has an grounded grid amplifier. It also has a not that the design was called the "inverted amplifier" and it came from Electronics, Vol 13, Page 14, July 1940.

There is a circuit in my 1937 Radio Handbook that has the meter to measure plate current in the cathode of a parallel HK-254 amplifier.

So these circuits may be around long before Orr.
