After 10× amplification, the output should be a 10 V, 100 kHz sawtooth, with a corresponding slew rate of 1 V per microsecond. However, the classic 741 op amp has a 0.5 V per microsecond slew rate specification so that its output can rise to no more than 5 V in the sawtooth's 10-microsecond period.
Keying by omitting a pin is also used in 8- (subminiature), 10-, and 12-pin tubes (a variant 10-pin form, "Noval+1", is basically a nine-pin socket with an added center contact).
