Hmm sorry I was a bit slow on responses. I am a little confused about all these codes, basically I have never heard of these before, and I have no clue where to search for them.
As I understand it, these codes were used to indicate in which equipment the respective component (here: our Inditron) was used, to enable quick references in the future. So what this code could be used for is finding out in which equipment the Inditron was actually used. This equipment is most likely some some aircraft control thingy, right? Anybody made progress in finding something more detailed? I have been digging into Burroughs history a little deeper, and found out that they mention their indicator tube program in their 1958 Annual Report. 1958, that is right. Three years late, that is weird, since they started adertising the Nixie tube since 1955 as a huge breakthrough, so why not mention it in their annual report? Also interesting within the 1954 Annual Report - Haydu Brothers of Plainfield NJ listed as a Burroughs Manufacturing Plant. (so far not confusing). In the report, there is the following text about the Haydu plant: "Similarly, in acquiring sources of supply for electronic and other components of business equipment, other products have been acquired (!). Thus, Burroughs is moving into growing fields outside that of office equipment. Haydu Brothers, for example, acquired in 1954, manufactures cathode ray television tubes and other precision components for the electronics industry." Other products have been acquired! This is the first time that I have read evidence for Burroughs acquiring products from Haydu Brothers. Any comments? Jens On 20 Nov., 01:28, "A.J.
