Paul, would you mind sharing the basis for your comment about the post-1957
Mullard/ETL connection? I've done a lot of work on ETL history (visited
what's left of their archives, talked to employees etc) and this is news to
me.
Thanks,
Jon.

I can help, Nick - will PM you. Long-timers here will remember that almost
15 years ago now I did a lot of work on the ETL date code. Dekatrons were
my focus, but it's the same code used on all ETL tubes, including these
lovely nixies.

Ah, that's the *other* ETL! Electronic Tubes Ltd of High Wycombe as opposed
to Ericsson Telephones Ltd of Beeston. It's the Ericsson ETL which makes
the nixies, dekatrons etc.
Thanks Martin!
