In the case of no mesh you do get more sputtering, that is, darkened glass. In case of a mesh you get a "sputtering shadow" as can be seen on the Wikipedia image [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube#/media/File:ZM1210-operating_edit2.jpg ]. Jens

Anyone know if there are any negative performance issues to a horizontal mesh, or as in the case of Burroughs b7032 which has no mesh at all?

CD66A seems to come with both rectangular and horizontal meshes. I just
received 6 used CD66A (bad condition, only one has the marking partially
readable, some have remains of red filter, 2 out of 6 are dead) and I'm
googling for more information on those and many photos show back of tube
with CD66A and front with rectangular mesh.

JB shows the rectangular mesh version and mentions it is identical to ZM1242

Datasheet from Dieters page shows a CD66(A) with horizontal mesh.

Looking at more pages you can get even more confused. It really seems like
few different productions from NEC were labelled as CD66 or CD66A.

The nixies with horizontal mesh are quite popular. I like them a lot!
First I thought that there was only the CD66, but then I discovered the
ZM1210, ZM1177 and CD64.
But there must be more. Which nixies am I missing?
