This is all very useful information to a collector of old
scopes, terminals and VDUs!

But surely there's a standards document somewhere that
describes these phoshpors? Chemical composition, colour,
persistence data, that kind of thing? Does anybody have
any idea where I might start looking for that standard (I
may be able to find it in the library here)?
Probably worth putting together a summary for the WWW, if I
can find the standard. No Java, Flash, JavaScript, ActiveX
or MIDI files -- promise! :-)
