I did a Google search, because I had never heard the term "banana tube". It seems that about 1960, a type of long narrow tube was tested with TV signals as a possible alternative technology for the standard color CRT ("shadow mask" tube) that was always used. This long tube was called a "banana tube". Others here may know more about it.
