IMO, Ucc is a rather odd term. That’s what triggered my first reply. Suppose we started to use ‘Siemens’ again. Or express capacitance in square meters. I had an old teacher once, who named every power supply with PSA. That stood for “Plaat Spannings Apparaat”, which is dutch for Plate Voltage Apparatus. As if the power supply was only suitable to power tubes with anodes and plates. Cheers, Frank

The 'cc' is probably questionable in this case, but the U is common in Europe. Semi-related Factoid:- If you read early US books on wireless you will find the term "anode" used in a sentence when they mean the supply voltage for the tubes. Makes for strange reading today. eg, "..remove the anode if the temperature exceeds..." Maybe my post is one Lucky is having a crap-attack about. Well, I actually asked the colour of the haze so I could repeat answers given over the years ! Jimi always got a mention if it was purple. And as for 'invention' - you will never hear the end of that one. And because you thought it was finished with I am not allowed to comment - oh deary me. jk ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Bemelman To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2012 1:10 AM Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Question on haze around nixie digit So, is “invention” now a forbidden word? Sheesh... Yes I read everything. Dieter is NOT very helpful if he invents ‘new’ names for things. I can not recall someone using the “Ucc” ever being used in this and previous Neonixie newsgroup. I am sorry you posted too. But hey, it happens.

Dieter for first stating 'Ucc' (I think maybe we are talking Vcc?) Regardless Ucc had been taken to mean something "cold cathode voltage" Have you not bothered to read the entire thread? Me for repeating the same (or maybe just being naive) Or 3 useless replies 2 of which are sarcastic, and one mocking the 'Invention' word which I thought we had finished with! Do you not wish to help anyone out? Do you not have anything to add, informational or knowledgeable wise? If not why answer? Just to mock? And I notice you did not jump all over Deiter when he said "Second, the lower the Ucc (cold cathode voltage) the higher the haze" Talk about childish! Sorry I posted.
