The wire leads on these often fit in standard IC socket strips. Cutting
the leads short to fit the socket is not a crime, as the tube will wear
out in this machine, so its future use is not of interest.
The top "nipple" end of the tube may be held by a horizontal plate with
a small grommet in it. This was standard practice back then.

however the accompanying decimal points which use IN-3s
have long flexible non socket-able leads. I really don't want to solder
them onto a board mainly because I can't bear to cut the leads off of
the poor things but it's mainly in case they need to be replaced in the
future. The binary displays use INS-1s for front facing panel mounting
and have the same problem.
I've thought about LED panel holders for the INS-1s but I can't find any
7mm holders that would fit them. Plus the IN-3s need to be vertical and
stand up from a base.
