Hmm sorry I was a bit slow on responses. I am a little confused about
all these codes, basically I have never heard of these before, and I
have no clue where to search for them.
As I understand it, these codes were used to indicate in which
equipment the respective component (here: our Inditron)
In all likelihood, the GI-10 does not have an anode because they had
not yet managed to invent an anode configuration which did not
infringe on the Boswau patent or the Northrop patent or any of the
other early gas discharge patents. The Burroughs Nixie is the earliest
known production tube with a
Hi Steve,
I think Micah agreed on giving the Wikipedia article another shot.
I will be writing an article on this soon, and I will include our
version as well as the other version. But I will point out that the
other theory needs historical proof and is thus merely conjecture
for now. I am just
As a complete and utter novice reading this thread; there is some
seriously great knowledge, and true expert opinion bouncing back and
forth.
As a group, can we not overcome the he-said-she-said differences and
capture this to Wikipedia? From the perspective of a novice,
Wikipedia's voice speaks
I'm not even going to entertain the possibility of Telefunken Nixies
in the 1940s. You might as well tell me the Germans developed a
functional atomic bomb in the 1930s but never patented it or used it
because they didn't want to infringe on US atomic bomb patents that
would later be filed in
Micah, You should edit the article so it's accurate. That's how a Wiki
should work.

Hello Micah,
National Union released the Inditron in 1954.
Do you have an add or a press release for that? That would be amazing. I
only have the snippet from Popular Science, 1954, that you also have
on your VTA website.
Haydu was bought by Burroughs in 1954.
OK, that is also what I

Okay, I suppose I'll give it a shot.
Great news.
Jens: on the subject of Inditrons in the 1940s, that's just wrong. We
were once given bad information as to the Inditron's age, and had a
date estimate of 1940s up on our site for some time. We have since
corrected that information, but it's
