Small trove of Burroughs datasheets and brochures

[Audrey]

Hey all, I acquired a small binder of Burroughs documents (120 pages) and scanned and digitized them.

There are datasheets for the following devices among them:

Sphericular - SD-12
Nixie - 6844A, 7009, 7153, B-4031, B-4033, B-4038, B-4995, B-4996, B-4997, B-4998, B-4021 / 8502, B-4032 / 7977, B-4081, B-4092 / 8421, B-5025, B-5030, B-5031 / 8037, B-5032, B-5092 / 8421, B-5094, B-5440, B-5441, B-5442, B-5971, B-5991 / 8422, B-5992, B-5997, B-5999, B-6032, B-6034, B-6036, B-6091 / 8423, B-7094, B-7037, B-7971, B-8091, B-8971, B-9012, B-40320, B-40324, B-40325, B-49981, B-49982, B-50317, B-50318, B-50911, B-50925, B-59943, B-59952, B-59956

I thought these particular documents were interesting:

The first link throws an error when I click it:

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce, but this page has a link to all of them.

I rarely see sphericular displays for sale; looks like this was competing with IEE's 'single-plane display'. It's hard to grasp how many display technologies were tossed around in those days (incandescent bulbs, neon bulbs, nixies, numitrons, VFD, NIMO, LED, CRT, edge-lit, electroluminescent...).

50 years from now the "neoled-l" google group will probably be drooling over the long-extinct OLED displays that we sneer-at today.

Nice work Audrey! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nick
