Burroughs did at least own one factory in Japan according to this link: https://www.computerwoche.de/a/burroughs-will-in-japan-produzieren,1200932 however it doesn't say if it produced Nixies.
Google translate for the link: ---------- TOKYO - Burroughs Corp.'s Japanese sales company, Takachiho Burroughs Co, has acquired Takachiho Koeki Co's Gotemba plant, which manufactures minicomputers, POS terminals and DV accessories. The distribution of the devices had previously largely gone through Takachiho Burroughs. At the end of 1975, Burroughs had increased its stake in the Japanese sales company from 50 to 95 percent - since then its partner Takachiho Koeki Co has only held 5 percent of the shares. The Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry (MITI) has approved the sale of the plant and Burroughs production plans. ---------- The same information about a Burroughs factory in Japan can be found here: http://www.burroughsinfo.com/manufacturing-locations.html /Martin On Monday, 22 August 2022 at 15:46:17 UTC+2 Paul Andrews wrote: > I doubt that Burroughs had a factory in Japan.
