Yep, phototubes. The trucks that de-ice aircraft use them. The things sense the flame/heater for the de-icing fluid. I was put on the trail two years ago to find some that went on 1960's vintage trucks still in use by the Navy. Not hard to find, really. But tres cool for a tube collector for sure!

Cheers
