Shield-grid tube bypass for improved radio amplifier
Technical note explains that direct connection of shield-grid to the 45-volt B battery tap causes amplified plate current changes from small voltage shifts. It recommends by-pass capacitor from shield-plate to negative B terminal to eliminate common impedance. Any disturbance in one tube’s B circuit can affect shield and reduce amplification.

It recommends sticking to commonly accepted tubes with available transformers unless a clear advantage exists.
