The set used 1-volt and 3-volt filament tubes like those used in tube-type portables. These tubes do not have separate indirectly-heated cathodes surrounding the filaments. That's why the note says the tubes have no cathodes: he means no separate cathodes. The filaments themselves serve as the cathodes.
