High Tension. (Another name for High Voltage, simply)
Generally, there are three terms you will see with voltage rails in TV sets - LT (Low), HT (High - also has high current, be careful should you need to do a bit of operating on the set yourself. Use your common sense not to get shocked by it.) Then EHT (Extra High) - in sets of this era, the amperage of this stage of the set is low enough to the extent that it's much safer (note: not "safe" - I said *safer*) to come into contact with than the HT line is.
Sets of about 30-40 years previous to your set are totally different (most importantly, they are much less safe) beasts and should not be messed about with until you have gained enough experience servicing sets of the above kind, but as of this moment you are not dealing with such a set anyway. Just thought I'd mention it in case you're considering getting a much older set, too.
