it is a switch - even if not of the kind you might be thinking of...

JW> Hello,
JW> maybe this is a bit off-topic but who knows :-)
JW> This is a question for all those interested in history of tubes and
JW> technology.
JW> I have a strange tube here of totally unknown use:
JW> It�s length is approx 10 cm, looks like a letter "H" with one electrode at
JW> the bottom of each leg and quite some mercury.
JW> It�s NOT a switch, there is not enough mercury in it to cover both
JW> electrodes at once in any possible position.
JW> so it must be something else...

JW> What�s written on it:
JW> There is a small stamp on it saying "Senditron" ; ...wter ( disturbed,
JW> illegible beginning of a word ending with "wter" ) and a datecode 4 /65
JW> plus a single letter "D"
JW> nothing else.
JW> Anybody having an idea what this is, what it might be good for and
JW> who might have made it ?
JW> It�s a nice piece in my tubecollection and I always like to know what I
JW> collect :-)
JW> Thank you
JW> Jan
