Dick is correct about the "shock resistant" intent of the covers, in
that they appear most often in Fender tube amplifiers with the tubes
mounted upside down (keeps them in place). The larger power tubes
typically have flanges that grip the tube at the base, so no need for a
cover. I think the covers may also have some effect on heat isolation
in crowded spacings (much like the "heat shields" protecting components
near exhaust manifolds on cars).
Best regards, Dana Vincent
