I am not sure the Earth ever got used like this, after all the outlets simply did not have it back in those times, but using unused pins on the tubes, specifically in rectifiers (and in others sometimes too) as solder posts is usual practice with Philco, and I believe, with others also.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
