Hi Jon
Yes that is the article I have but I think it was after 1953! Where was it from?

The appearance of that bent kneck tube instills horror, I was clumsy enough with straight ones!

Its from Wireless World for January 1954, and makes reference to a detailed description having been published in the June 1953 issue of Philips Technical Revue - wish I had a copy of that. Something that bizarre could only be Philips, couldn't it !

Have attached the Wireless World article - sorry its a pdf, but forum limits images to 600 pixels high which would have made the text difficult to read.

TTFN,
Jon

Thanks Jon.
I found my copy too, just seem to forget what year things were invented, discussed or just about anything time related now, senile decay is setting in too early, in my mind.

I don't remember where I read about it (might even be in this forum) but Philips had another way of solving the extremely wide deflection angles. Instead of producing a tube with only 1 gun, they prototyped a "camel tube", actually 2 tubes with separate guns in one glass envelope sharing the same screen.
