Hello,

maybe this is  a bit off-topic but who knows :-)

This is a question for all those interested in history of tubes and 
technology.

I have a strange tube here of totally unknown use:

It�s length is approx 10 cm, looks like a letter "H" with one electrode at 
the bottom of each leg and quite some mercury.

It�s NOT a switch, there is not enough mercury in it to cover both 
electrodes at once in any possible position.

so it must be something else...

What�s written on it:

There is a small stamp on it saying "Senditron" ; ...wter ( disturbed, 
illegible beginning of a word ending with "wter" ) and a datecode 4 /65 
plus a single letter "D"

nothing else.

Anybody having an idea what this is, what it might be good for and 
who might have made it ?

It�s a nice piece in my tubecollection and I always like to know what I 
collect :-)

Thank you

Jan
