That tube must hold the record for "most pins to display the fewest things"! I'm somewhat surprised that they populated all of the pins in the tube base instead of just using enough for positive keying - when I worked in the glass base business, we would have omitted those in the pellet pressing process in order to have a lower chance of leaks after sintering and assembly + flow in the hydrogen furnaces. It looks like there are additional digits in the OP's 2-digit tube (possibly 5 per position, hard to tell from the picture). If that is the case, do they seem to be connected to any pins? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
