decatron
Single-pulse decatron.
It is made in a glass case with 8 pins.
The base is octal metal RSH5-1. The cathodes are cold and inactive.
The lamp works in any position. Single-pulse counting decatron for operation
in calculating and calculating-solving devices, as well as for
frequency division. It is used in computer technology,
measuring instruments and various counting devices
electronic equipment devices.
Filling is an inert gas with a deionizing impurity.
The countdown is visual, according to the position of the discharge glow.
The indication is made through the dome of the cylinder.
