Gideon, The wires are flexible. Don't worry about stressing the glass.

I received my IV-11 tubes today and I was trying to put them on a board, a prototyping board. The best way to insert them (that I found) was the one in the attachment. But I noticed that the tubes would be ever so slightly tilted, aprox 1-2 mm over the whole tube. Does anyone have a better way to place them? I have added an empty piece of protoboard next to my best try in case someone wants to show his/her idea. My alternative plan is to just bend the wires a little but I don't want to stress the connection to the glass feedthrough (?) too much. For those who followed my previous thread(s) currently I am only waiting for the PLCC to dip sockets and DC-DC convertors, the rest is here. And a friend is helping me with the arduino code. :)
