G2 = "screen grid." Although it's in the same order of electrodes as a screen grid (second grid) in a small signal tube, it doesn't perform the same function (screening the control grid [grid 1] from capacitive coupling to the plate) in a CRT. Instead, it is used for setting the cutoff point of voltage between the cathode and G1.
