[Also in Division G5] A gas discharge matrix includes a woven mesh of electrically insulated wires 1 or strips contained within an envelope filled with an ionizable gas or mixture of gases through which envelope connection is made to the individual wires or strips of the mesh by means of which connections an alternating voltage may be applied to the pair of wires or strips defining each selected cross-over point in the mesh so as to excite an intermittent glow discharge in the localized region surrounding that cross-over point. Glass clad copper wires 1 are sealed between the two parts of a spacer 4 separating a square glass sheet 2 and an L-shaped glass sheet 3 forming an envelope which is filled through a tube 5 with a 1% Ne 99% A mixture at about atmospheric pressure. The ends of the wires are secured to the sheet 3 to form terminals. An operating circuit is described (see Division G5) including capacitors which may be formed by laying conducting strips across the glassclad wires where they emerge from the envelope.
