This variety may not have existed in this country but there was another
kind which varied a fluorescent strip. At maximum grid voltage the two
strips closed, like a curtain. Same principle.  Good fun. Imagine: I
wanted to make a bike speedometer with those things years ago. With a
voltage inverter and all. I was a bit crazy then. No jokes about my
still being crazy, thanks. :-)
