 Please post photos!

A picture would be helpful to know exactly what you are referring to.  I am sure someone here will have the answer to your question.

Yes, there is a way to decipher the code.  Here's the cheat sheet (courtesy Janet from Funtronics)...

The first letter indicates the manufacturer (W = Westinghouse)

The remaining 3 letters tell you the month and year of manufacture.  The code is RADIO TUBES...

R=1
A=2
D=3
I=4
O=5
T=6
U=7
B=8
E=9
S=0

So, your would be:

W-DIR = Westinghouse, 3/41
W-SIR = Westinghouse, 10/41

My Westinghouse standard has W-TIR which according to this is Westinghouse 6/41.  Thanks that is very helpful.

As for the comments about Nov and Dec they probably just used more characters. W-RAIR = 12/41

Ok here's a pic of my code to the liner of a westinghouse standard that I just got. It doesn't have any letters.
What would this tell me?
Sorry, just another newbie with a question.
