Thanks for the informative piece of history. But you might want to spell subminiature correctly in the title. After all, you are MIT.

Excellent historical video. Very well done. I still amazed at the 20,000 g shock rating for AA fuzes! Roger Jones, SMIEEE

A truth, both sad and beautiful.

I have quite a few of these tubes, and am always obtaining more, especially the actual proximity fuze types. I have built radio receivers and amps using them. They are an interesting item relating to one of my favorite studies, obsolete technology.
