VR Tube Information
Correctly-operating VR tubes glow during normal operation. The color of the glow varies depending upon the gas mixture used to fill the tubes.
Though they lack a heater, VR tubes often do become warm during operation due to the current and voltage drop through them.

Famous quotes containing the words tube and/or information:
“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
—Marilyn Butler (b. 1937)
