A curiosity in my collection: some JG-5751s by General Electric,
packed in May 1963. On the boxes are printed a little 3-leaf radiation
symbol, followed by the number 0.00001.

I'm guessing these tubes were hardened against gamma radiation, by
reducing the atmosphere in the bulb to an extra-small value indicated by
the number.

Any info, lore?
