Hello,
There was a link posted on this list in the last month that I can't find
now.
The site that had some scanned pages from a book, about using neon bulbs as
logic elements. I planned to read it later, and then lost it. Anyone seen
that site?
Thanks,
-Frank

I don't know if this is what you saw, but here's a link to the "GE Glow
Lamp Manual", from 1965. Lots of pages on logic circuits using neons.

You mean the stuff in this zip file?

Judging by the date on the file, it was 2 years ago, not last month, that
we were talking about it...

That's kind of funny! I've been looking at the same topic recently.
Here is a site I just
found a few days ago which has 3 scanned books on the topic:

I'm also in the process of scanning several books I found at the local
university.
Burning in my new "plustek OpticBook 3600" book scanner. I'll let you
know when
I'm done.
I purchased some neon bulbs on ebay this weekend. Though from what I
have been
reading, 'trigger tubes' are probably better. They are 3 terminal
devices that are more
like a relay or transistor. Actually, they are some times referred to
as 'relay tubes'.

I have no idea if it's there, but one good book on this (and on other
related subjects' is called 'Cold Cathode Tube Circuit Design'. I am
told, though, it's not easy to find.
