RCA, even after it bought Victor, sourced many of its tubes from other
vendors. You'll see tubes made in Holland and Germany, rebranded RCA. It
came down to who had which tube type up and running on their lines. They
didn't like switching over production from one type to another. And from
what I understand of tube manufacturing, most all tube manufacturers in the
USA bought their tube parts from Sylvania, especially cathode assemblies and
grid wire. The manufacturing of the individual parts required much greater
attention to detail than the assembly of the tubes.
