The second image of this 5779 shows it operating at 1/10 power, one amp DC from a 40 volt power supply triggered by a Tesla coil.  It has a good deal of Hg in it!  I read on the web long ago about one of these that was operated in a very high magnetic field at very high current at extremely short pulse duration, unbelievable at the time to me.  Widh I could find it again!
