Why were resistors put in bakelite blocks?
#3

 As Morzh stated I don't think that heat dissipation was a concern with any resistor potted inside a Bakelite block, they were likely used in a low current application like a grid bias resistor or a cathode bias resistor for a lower current tube like an If or an RF amplifier. As yet I haven't found one of these potted resistors, all of the Philcos I have worked on used the terminals on top of the blocks to mount resistors.
