  • Abstract
    A new type of gas-filled counting tube has been developed. This tube contains a common cathode with many anodes around it, differing from the dekatron of conventional type. It may be driven by small input pulses of amplitude about one-half as large as that of a conventional type. It can drive the number display tube without any intermediate device, and is expected to have higher reliability. The paper describes the static and dynamic characteristics and the application of this new counting tube.
