Hello, Time Nutters.... Back in the 70's on a visit to the office of a fellow broadcast station Chief Engineer, I saw, on his desk, a cute novelty item created as a promotional sales gift by the General Electric company for its tube (valve?) marketing efforts. The item consisted of several 9-pin miniature glass tube (valve?) envelopes mounted on a wooden base. Inside one tube was a very tiny hand-cranked rotary egg-beater. The label under the tube read "Mixer Tube". The next tube had a tiny swinging gate patterned after the likes of which might be found on a vegetable garden fence and it was labeled "Gate Tube". There were four tube functions represented, but I forget what the other two were. I thought it very clever...
