Unknown Barretter Lamp Here is a barretter lamp believed to be of military origin (note the arrow symbol on the etch). As I understand it, the filament is iron and the atmosphere inside the bulb is hydrogen, but more than that I don't know. Can anyone identify this device and tell me where it would have been used..?

Can anyone identify this device and tell me where it would have been used..?

I've seen them used in old valve electronics as current limiters to create a stable volt drop in a circuit. Don't think they are designed to glow too much in normal operation.

Thanks, I've seen similar devices in old GPO telephone power supplies, thought it might be something like that.
