Also known as the B-5991, the 8422 is a common Burroughs top-viewing Nixie, which features a moderate digit height in a compact envelope. The 8422 displays digits 0-9, with no decimal point. Raytheon manufactured a variant of this part under their 'Datavue' trademark, the CK8422. The example shown in the thumbnail is a rare engineering sample variant of the CK8422, which is marked with a paper label instead of a traditional printed part number.
Raytheon also made a symbol tube companion to the CK8422, the CK1903. This tube displays plus and minus symbols and has a special reduced size anode mesh to match the size of the digit stack.
