I could not find any data on this tibe, but it looks to be about the same size as a 4CX20000, which is a more modern ceramic transmitting tube.
It's a big tetrode with 20kW plate dissipation, needs 140Amps heater current and 10kV B+.
I have known Hams who experimented with them. They used a "pole pig" power distribution transformer in reverse for the HV supply. 140A heater current needs a big filament transformer, too.
