For those who can access the BBC's iPlayer, as part of Jim Al-Khalili's BBC4 programme on the nuclear installation at Sellafield, there is a fleeting image of a 5 decade dekatron counter around 16:40-16:43. Setting aside the sight of vintage neon (always a bonus), it's an interesting watch for those interested in the history of technology in the UK.

Cheers,

Jon.
