I was a member of the Society for Information Display for a long time. Most new display advances are published in their journals and proceedings:

Check out your local university/technical library for SID publications.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
 
The Nixie tube was a tried and true decade display counter tube in the mid 1960's. Prior to that, the Decatron tube was widely used. I also saw 10-milliamp analog (current summing) meters used as decade output displays for 1-2-4-8 BCD counter decade counters driven by vacuum-tube (VT) set-reset (SR) flip flops. Unlike more modern decade displays, the Decatron tube was mesmerizing. See

Thanks for this information.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
