Hi,
I, personally, can't be of any help. But while you're at it, the wiki
article takes issue with the Haydu brothers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nixie_tube
It mentions, Burroughs buying the Haydu brothers out for their tube
manufacturing abilities, and that the nixie was developed 'in-house',
at Burroughs.
Hmm I have historical proof that Haydu Bros already were a Burroughs
subsidiary when they advertised the Nixie tube, see here:
http://www.jb-electronics.de/html/elektronik/nixies/n_hb106.htm Now that
was 1955, so quite early.
But sadly, I do not know if Haydu Bros had planned the Nixie tube before
they were bought by Burroughs, or if it was a true Burroughs story.
Wikipedia seems to point in that direction.
The wikipedia article seems wrong at one point, though: Telefunken made
their first Nixie tube in 1966 a German source says.
