Nimo tube numbering

[Robert]

What does the part/serial number indicate

I have seen 6000-92-0006 and 6000-92-0074
The square tube has 6100-92-0006

Thanks
Rob

IEE Engineer Abraham Fuchs in Philadelphia won IEE’s Name That Tube Contest and named it Nimo.

What a great trolling masterclass and hats off to IEE for their refined sense of humor.

I interviewed at IEE in July of 1980. I had just graduated with a BSEE from Ohio University, the highest ranked State Party School by Playboy Magazine ten years in a row. 

I turned down an offer from IEE because I thought those guys partied way too much and I opted to never party like I did for five years straight only on days ending in the letter “Y”.

Instead I became an Aerospace Analog Design Engineer working on aircraft control systems.

I’d love to get my hands on some Nimos now that I’m retired.

Thanks,

John (AKA Rico Suave)

I remember that some of datasheets exist for other that the known one "0006" but I cant find it anywhere, including variations on phosphor color 

Anyone has other datasheets available? It would be interesting to see them
