The name Osglim is a generic term used by M-OV for a range of neon tubes. This example produces the glow on a bright back plate and is believed to be of the type used by Baird in his early televisor. The beehive Osglim when fitted with a half cylinder reflector was also believed to be used by Baird. There is a beehive Osglim signed by John Logie Baird in the Hastings museum.
