Hello,
[...] Mr. Ciardiello had [...] had regurgitated the same incorrect Haydu origin mantra. He subsequently edited the content of this article enough that it is vaguely-not- incorrect, but he doesn't actually admit that I was right all along. The Haydu Vs. Burroughs article is basically useless and draws no real conclusions.
The article is not wrong at least, there are a couple of very different statements on the net:
1) http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~andrewp/Clocks.html (NU made Inditrons in the fourties) 2) http://www.wps.com/archives/decimal-tubes/ (Nixie tubes designed by Haydu 1952-1953)
These are the two most striking so far. Mr E. Barbour, an active member of the TCA, propagates the 1) version, and he is very certain that he is right. He also indicated that there were early Telefunken Nixie tubes from the fourtier, and my German sources say "no" to that.
I seem to remember somebody in the past telling me that there was another unrelated tube called an Inditron, but I can't say for sure.
I have found a snippet from a book on Google that was about "Two amber step indicating lights// (Inditron tubes)" (1950), so there might have also been simple neon bulbs that were called Inditrons.
