I think it would be in a Burroughs document. Didn't we find that Burroughs 
bought Haydu for their manufacturing capacity, and that the Nixie 
development began at Burroughs before that acquisition?

It might be hiding in a Haydu document.

My understanding regarding the name Nixie is that the official tubes 
were known as 'N'umerical 'I'ndicator Tubes. The N from numerical and 
the I from indicator became the "NI" of the word NIxie.Ira.

The title is: "Pixie, Dixie, Trixie, and Nixie" and it is written by 
Dorothy and Marguerite Bryan and supposedly published in 1950. 
Burroughs made a Pixie tube, a Trixie socket for the Pixie tube and 
also Nixies, however I haven't heard of a Dixie though.

Don’t you store your “Tiger Rags” in a “Dixie tube” ? I’m dissapointed.


(Sorry I just couldn’t resist creating this pun)
