Hi Group.
Apparently, Gilbarco makes Gas-pumps for Gas-stations etc.
Now the question - why a heater ? I thought that Plasma displays and
Nixies was pretty unaffected by low temperature, but maybe not ?
Good find! I see those gas pumps still in small towns.
The heater would be to keep them working in very low temperatures that a
gas pump encounters in the outdoors. Neon lamps have trouble striking a
plasma below about 0C.
Not needed for indoor use.
