delighted audiences by showing them the ancestor
of the neon sign. They took a glass tube with
wires embedded in opposite ends... put a high
voltage across... pumped out most of the air...
and the interior of the tube would glow in lovely
patterns. In 1859 a German physicist sucked out
still more air with an improved pump and saw that
