Nixies in Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1971)

[Jon D.]

During the "reprogramming" of Alex the droog (a "volunteer" from prison, a convicted murderer), the Government experiments with a new drug and treatment to undo his ultraviolent tendencies.  Here are a few Nixie photos from that experiment about 1hr14mins or so into the movie.

I noticed these aswell, surely it's HP gear.

The larger might be an Advance.

Hi Adrian

Looks to me like a Marconi Instruments TF1417, the date is about correct for it to be so.

I think the smaller of these counters is a Racal 835. Does anyone recognise the larger one ?

Warning: VERY large images! You might want to delete them from your reply. I attempted to post them to Imgur but I couldn't get a new gallery to work for some odd reason...

Looks like two more over on the right:

This shot fills almost the entire frame. Looks like a hamfest in the back:

Hello.

I have added the movie to the list of "Nixie in broadcast media" some neonixie-l members compiled few years ago:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12flg9o8OFw3oAlLBToHjpNLt1VdUuMSRkMb-7SJ4xuA/edit?usp=sharing

Please have a look and fill up the missing info on this movie based on existing entries. Also feel free to add missing media!

Hello,

I have added two recent medias in which Nixie clocks have appeared to the spreadsheet list Paolo linked. Notably Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie Oppenheimer in which a Nixie countdown timer appears (at least in the trailer) and the Netflix series Wednesday in which a clock can be seen.
