High Speed Gas-Filled Triggered Switch Tube / Thyratron
Tube à gaz à cathode froide utilisé comme interrupteur à très grande vitesse
Gasgefüllte Schaltröhre, Triggerbare Schaltfunkenstrecke mit sehr kurze Schaltzeiten

This tube was found in a lot of stuff from a LANL/SNL (Los Alamos National Laboratory/Sandia National Laboratory) surplus auction.

This is a very unusual thyratron type tube that looks very similar to a krytron, but fires at a much lower voltage. It has a very weird gas mixture inside. My best guess is that it was originally supposed to trigger something mighty interesting. The tube is so sensitive that even a static-charged pipe a few feet away will trigger it.
