I've seen a low-resolution photograph of a Soviet submarine console that appeared to have displays made up of these tubes. That would make some sense as one of the last places oddball display technologies persisted in the West was for things like avionics (Minitrons), etc. Apparently, newer sub designs went with custom displays like this: http://www.tmk.com/transient/vfddisplspecialbigsubmarine01.jpg I also have a 512 x 512 pixel panel from another sub. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
