Nathan,
The Farnsworth team had several test units for this concept rather late in their game after 1964. I have several photos of one in particular where the cylindrical inner grid looked like a sausage about 6" long. The whole thing was in a large (12"??) conflat nipple.
A lot of Miley's initial work was following the Farnsworth team's efforts having talked with a few of them.
Anyone whant to try this?
