It was intended primarily for use with the 561A, but works fine in other 560-series scopes.  The 3B4 is unusual in having an explicit "FREE RUN" mode.

In the triggered modes, the [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]]-based triggering is rated to work to 20 MHz.  The vertical bandwidth of typical 560-series (non-sampling) scopes is about 10 MHz, so 20 MHz is adequate.
