That's an interesting quest. Have you tried to contact any CRT
manufacturers and asked them? They should know all of that. Unfortunately
most (all?) of the CRT manufacturers that used to be in the US have moved
to China, Taiwan or Malaysia.

There are others but, the codes to them are long
forgotten.
But surely there's a standards document somewhere that
describes these phoshpors? Chemical composition, colour,
persistence data, that kind of thing? Does anybody have
any idea where I might start looking for that standard (I
may be able to find it in the library here)?
Probably worth putting together a summary for the WWW, if I
can find the standard. No Java, Flash, JavaScript, ActiveX
or MIDI files -- promise! :-)
