At first, such tubes were custom-made for use as advertising signs. A few early gas-discharge display tubes using the stacked-cathode system were made by National Union and Telefunken prior to 1945. The specific design used in the mass-produced Nixie tubes was developed around 1948 by the Haydu brothers, who sold the patent to Burroughs in 1952. So,  Possible? Yeah Likely?

So it's at least possible there were Nixies at Los Alamos during that period. On Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at 8:36:21 PM UTC-7 J Forbes wrote: I recognize a corner of a BC-348Q.

I'm saying not accurate because the timing equipment that has been shown in photos was all mechanical.  What say you experts?
