If you haven't done so already look in the tube manual at the tube that goes
into that socket. Some tubes have more than one pin connection for the
cathode. As an example, tubes with a suppressor grid sometimes have that
grid run to a pin and also an internal connection between the suppressor and
cathode, with the cathode going to a pin on the socket also. That
effectively leaves the cathode with two pins on the socket. Sometimes the
manufacturer will chose one or the other pins on the socket as the cathode
pin.
