Does anyone know when seven segment displays first appeared on the scene?
Presumably the first ones were VF, and LED came later?
(I was just looking at a museum's mock-up of the Apollo mission control
console, and the fake readout is made to look like a 7-seg display; I'm just
surprised that the digital readouts weren't all Nixie-based back then)
cheers
