Subject: Identifying A HUGE Hydrogen Thyratron

Hey guys,

Can any of you help me identify this MASSIVE tube I picked up at an estate
sale? The only markings are 4.8V Reservoir Voltage printed along the side.

I believe it's the same as the one shown on the Wikipedia page here:

All I can make out from the photo is General Electric. Any ideas?

Thanks,
