This document released by Mullard explains the operating principles of glow discharge tubes and their internal construction. Additionally, it includes schematics for various applications, beginning with a simple static display and progressing to two different approaches for implementing a multiplexed display. In addition to describing the anode-scanning method, which is the most widely used approach today, it also presents an alternative cathode-scanning technique and discusses the various drawbacks associated with this method.

This document provides information on STC’s GN-1 Nixie tube. It includes a datasheet outlining the electrical specifications for both DC and rectified AC operation, as well as mechanical details such as tube dimensions and digit height. Additionally, it features circuit diagrams illustrating how the tube can be used in conjunction with the G10/241E counting tube. This document describes a very early version of the GN-1 without an anode grid. Later units included one, likely to achieve more even illumination.

This document details the design, functionality, and application of the STC G10-241E Nomotron, a unidirectional single pulse counting and display tube. It describes its operation and highlights its applications in areas such as tachometry, counting and batching, and frequency and time measurement. Besides a general overview over its mechanism of operation, it also contains detailed diagrams of the tube and example circuits for many of its aforementioned use cases.

Detail pictures of the G10/241E can be found here.

English title: Notes on the use of indicator tubes

This document contains information on various East German display tubes and examines their respective areas of application as well as their advantages and disadvantages. In particular, the different operating modes of Nixie tubes are discussed. At the end of the document the technical data of some common Nixie tubes can be found.
