This tube has an history. Young engineer in 1984, I had the opportunity to visit the
installations of the "Twin" of Boussois plant (59-France). Started in 1956,
the "Twin" plant has produced flat glass until 1967. In unused electrical cabinets,
I discovered several vacuum tubes which remembered me of my electronic course of
bachelor's class. It is certainly a thyratron gas-tube, the thyristor's ancestor.
This tube is very decorative and I preserve it like a "souvenir".
Other tubes, other "souvenirs". These two power diodes come from the factory
Reckitt et Colman in Chartres (28 Eure et Loir - France). To wire for sound
the factory's workshops, there was an amplifier and a turntable player. I am unaware
of all the goals of this installation. In 1981, this installation was dismounted,
at this occasion I preserved the tubes of the amplifier.
