Boy does that bring back memories! My first SW receiver, extracted from an old 
upright radio/phono console in 1957, had one of those, and I'll never forget 
tuning in WWV for the very first time and watching the dark center narrow down 
to a slender wedge. And you could see the orange filament glowing behind the 
eye, too, which was pretty cool.  :-)   I would stare at that thing for hours 
as I listened. ( Maybe that's why I'm blind as a bat today...! )
