Where is getter on 15G's and what size is it ?
I look on later 21" color roundies and they only have conductive coating + 1" red band - and no getter ? (because they were more confident of seal ?)

All tubes must have a getter. It is essential to getting the final vacuum quality, even if the tube does not leak. Sometimes it is somewhere not visible, like under the conductive aquadag coating.
