Shame theyre fucked

Sadly just broke ends, but its the frank that counts, and they are still intact, so broke or not, still examples of ultra rare 1960's government franked tubes. The 996- code was the army order code for electric lamps, the latter part related to the actual lamp, in this case a 40 watt daylight tube

Note all that extra information on the atlas tube compared to most you see, its got the degrees kelvin on it, double life, and quickstart, all of which you rarely see

Yeh i like the atlas tubes that have the extra info tended to see that more on the 4300K ones i noticed.

That atlas is a one off never seen another like that bet the chavs got that one such a shame. What fittings were these in Phil?

those plastic opal trough fittings i've got up my loft, 4 foot 40 watt with the metal starter in the end

those tubes got smashed in the early 90's !

I think I have one of these Atlas tubes with the Nato code. Will have a look for it.
