Apparently. Sez here that Philco made preproduction quantities of a 21" tube for evaluation around '56. While the results were technically satisfactory, the timing was wrong as the shadow mask tube was becoming well-entrenched & apparently Philco disbanded their efforts. Sony fooled around w/beam-index tubes in 1981 as well.-Sandy G.
