The tubes of 40s black and white sets were round, but different manufacturers had different styles of masking them. Some masked just the top and bottom, so they looked like roundie color sets. Others masked the top, bottom, and sides, so the picture looked more or less rectangular. A few didn't mask at all - the "porthole" style.
