To be fair, the article was using NE2s in ring counters, so they
needed to be matched well,

If you read between the lines in teh GE Glow Lamp Book. They actually made (or perhaps factory selected) lamps for "Circuit use". Proably ran the machines shower, with a top operator, and just after the machine had been adjusted by a millwright. Natuarly the "circuit" lamps were more expensive. Plain NE-2 bulbs were expected to be used as Pilot lights.
