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.

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”
