I think you may find that it is intended to produce the pulse required to trigger a thyratron to switch on in AC control circuits such as stage lighting dimmers etc. The semiconductor equivalent of a thyratron is a thyristor. Thyristors only work on DC, so the AC version is a triac, and the trigger device is a diac.
Another possibility is that it is an early digital computer device, such as a dekatron, which was a triggered counter.

TRADE JOKE.
Hi,
Now, if you can make people believe it is usable for audio, you can call yourself a real billington.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Today I came over the tube G150/2D,

Ouch! It may be a potential digital audio type...
