This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How much pressure? Is the bulb pressurized or the smaller tube? Is it normal air or something specific like nitrogen?
I searched it up:
It seems the smaller tube is pressurised, the larger bulb is under a vacuum. Some of the other diagrams also show a getter in the bulb, so it's a proper vacuum tube level vacuum.
