If I remember correctly there is at least one patent on Nixies that mentions 2.5mg and/or 3.5mg of mercury, and it also discusses several methods of releasing the mercury from the small glass capsules - I can't find the patent right now but I think it was a patent by Burroughs as I remember that one picture showed exactly how they have done it in their B5092 Nixie. /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
