The CV220 is a cold cathode four electrode neon discharge tube capable of producing very short duration pulses. The prototype is the 631-P1 and commercially it is the Ferranti NSP1. The circuit in the data-sheet suggests that the main use was in a stroboscope to inspect rotating machinery.
The construction is very similar to the CV2296.
The cathode and trigger are supported on the pinch. The anode is placed at the top of the envelope.
The insulation around the anode support is sheathed in a glass tube. In our other CV200 the insulation is woven.
The cathode.
The wide glass tube envelope is 29 mm in diameter, and excluding the UX4 base pins is 91 mm tall.
