Hi Fran! Another very interesting post. I know you have a slew of videos (Haven't binge-watched them all yet, despite 2 months of enjoyable viewing!) but have you done one with a tour of your museum? Did you have to relocate as well? Is it open to the public? If I ever get back East I would surely put it on my To-Do list... In the meantime I'll just try catching up on your massive content. Thanks again! Best, -Tom Rose

Ha, I worked with those! And with Decatrons! OK, only in first year physics lab exercises (45 years ago) where we got to play with ancient equipment, but still...

That's a marvelous setup. Sadly, like you say ahead of it's time, a device with no market.

I wonder if that "beam overspill" is down to a faulty tube.

This was a unique display thanks for showing us this device. I have seen some Soviet built displays that use a beam of electrons to make a phosphor display glow in several colors on line too. This display functions much like many VFDs that came latter.

I thought so, but seeing a few other examples on the interwebs it seems more like a quirk of the design.

Rube Goldberg would understand this tube...

Fascinating how some engineer's ingenuity leap frogs commercial needs. Thanks, Jerome, and Thanks Fran for reminding us of this.

A lot of work for something that seems so trivial now. I'm glad nixie took over. I love nixie clocks!
