Waht, even in CRTs?

In the UK, the electrodes of a pentode -- a signal ampiifying valve are : 
cathode, control grid, screen grid, supressor grid, anode.

But for a CRT they're cathode, (control) grid, first anod, second (or 
focus) anode, somethimes third anode and final anode.

Are you seriously saying that in Germany, the focus electrode in a CRT is 
called a 'supressor grid'?
