Yep, exactly. I can take a picture of how I place them, but basically it
ends up being a sort of square or rectangle. I leave about a centimeter
of lead above the protoboard so that the tube can be gently twisted the
right way.

Gideon,
The wires are flexible. Don't worry about stressing the glass.

I received my IV-11 tubes today and I was trying to put them on a
board, a
prototyping board. The best way to insert them (that I found) was the
one
in the attachment. But I noticed that the tubes would be ever so
slightly
tilted, aprox 1-2 mm over the whole tube. Does anyone have a better
way to
place them? I have added an empty piece of protoboard next to my best
try
in case someone wants to show his/her idea. My alternative plan is to
just
bend the wires a little but I don't want to stress the connection to the
glass feedthrough (?) too much.
For those who followed my previous thread(s) currently I am only waiting
for the PLCC to dip sockets and DC-DC convertors, the rest is here.
And a
friend is helping me with the arduino code. :)
