Smile Re: How it's made. 1950's Televisions

Hi,
I've wondered about American tellies having 'live chassis'technology. Wouldn't the line voltage be too low to supply the various HT supplies required without depending on the boost HT circuits?
I have an old French 819 line TV that uses a transformer because the national supply back then was 110 volts. My telly has a voltage selector from 110 to 250 volts, and 'E' series valves.
Rummaging through boxes of valves on flea markets, rallies, etc. I have never seen any 'P' types.
Cheers, Pete.
