CK6910 (Raytheon)
Dekatron counting tube


Bi-directional double-pulse decimal counting tube.
Argon
filled.

The following pictures show the tube spinning.
Of course, only one of the cathodes is glowing, but the opening time of the camera generates different pictures:

a long opening time of the camera:

a short opening time of the camera:

by night, with  long opening time of the camera:
