Jens,
Have you asked the poeple running this website:
http://ericssonhistory.com/Default.aspx?epslanguage=EN ? They have a lot of
old Ericsson manterial online which describe Ericsson products, amongst
them the RYG10 Trochotron. I have not looked for any Nixie related material
there but they
Hello Ira,
thanks, I know this article. It is somewhat misleading concerning Nixie
tubes.
I talked with a former Haydu (then Burroughs) employee and he confirmed
that the Nixie tube came from the Burroughs side as can be seen by some
other sources as well.
For me, this issue is now fully

Hello Jens,
Much of what I know is just from what I have heard, read, or
vaguely remember, from here, there, and elsewhere. I do have one
article that I managed to find from somewhere, that I am sending along
for any help that it may be to you. It is enclosed here as an
attachment. If I
Hi Ira,
What do you know of Haydu Bros. and their readout tubes, in the early
1950's??
Burroughs launched their Nixie tube campaign as early as 1955, maybe
earlier, but that's not for sure. I am in contact with an old newspaper
archive at the moment, hoping to resolve that issue once and
Hi Jens,

Hi Martin,
thanks for the link, I know this article. I also had contact to an
engineer working at the Haydu facilities in 1954 shortly after he
merger. The Burroughs and Haydu Brothers story seems fairly clear to me.
The question remaining (and originally intended to be asked) is: what is
Great question Jens!
From my research on Ericsson (admittedly dekatron-oriented), I have not
come across another early patent which is obviously directed to cold
cathode indicating tubes other than the one which describes the GR10A
register tube. Later on around 1960 they filed some patents

What do you know of Haydu Bros. and their readout tubes, in the
early 1950's?? Burroughs bought them out in about 1956 if I recall
correctly. Ira.
