Sounds like your friend has a HV vacuum capacitor.

Greetings,
A engineer friend of mine, who I have been trying to get to join the
list, has a piece of equipment he cannot identify. I suggested that if
anyone could they would be on our list so here goes. He has a tube(I
would describe it as a diode as it has only two pins) that is
cylindrical with a diameter of approximately 2" and length of 6". One
pin on each end. This is stamped in the metal on one end: VC50-20. And
this is printed in ink near by: 48B081. Now, it is mounted in a tank
circuit of some sort with a high voltage variable capacitor with blades
about 6" in diameter and the overall length of about 12". this is
printed on the capacitor frame: Barker & Williams, Upper Darby, PA,
CX70B. Vic, my friend, has contacted them but they have no records as
old as this apparently is. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
