The main use originally was in Ultronics Lectrascan stock ticker
displays...

Not much out there any more about these, but here is a photo of one
module. I have about 10 "units" (2 tubes per unit) - these turn up
from time to time on eBay and elsewhere - mine came from Proops
(surplus shop) in Tottenham Court Road in London in the 1970s - ISTR
paying about GBP 2 per unit (including tubes - a reasonable sum in
those days). My first 7971s, before the bulk supplies became
available.

I'm sure someone here said in the past they had a whole frame of
these, just like the photo:
