I like the bent over electrode appearance of the a 108. I looked at a russian datasheet for it and it doesnt show any guide electrodes, it shows it as having 10 cathodes and 1 anode, no other connections. Its shown as having all the even cathodes connected together to the Q of a flip flop, and all the odd to not Q, looks like when you toggle the flip flop the arc jumps to the next electrode, implying only 1 direction is possible, maybe thats why the electrodes are angled over to ensure transfer direction.
