Hiya Mike - fancy seeing you here

neutrodyne was just a method of using triodes to amplify rf before the screen grid came in. The inter electrode capacitance in a triode (between the plate and grid) caused oscillation but the neutrodyne cap (usually just a small air spaced var cap) cancelled it out. The SG valve was far better so the neutrodyne bit the dust.
