Interesting design!, what purpose do the bars next to the cathodes serve? Smile

I don't know exactly but perhaps these ones are the additional cathodes for increasing the current and the power of lamp.

I’ve always assumed they were for cathodes shields?, but then why would they go to the trouble of fitting them without fitting the shields too?
