Just my take.

It'd be to anode-modulate a single 813 RF amplifier.

I'm weighing-up the merits and demerits of different modulator designs; a triode-connected [grids strapped together] pair of 807s in zero-bias Class-B as recommended by RCA is the other alternative under consideration.

I have a nice big Woden multi-ratio transformer which would allow 'ultra-linear' wiring, and that led to my strange idea. Ultra-linear operation would have the advantage of giving greater tolerance-of-error with the impedance-ratios available.
