Rebuilding the 15gp22: A final report

[Eric H]

The 15HP22 seems to still have the flanges, just fewer internal components.

Sorry, I stated it poorly.... I mean a simplified tube like the 15HP22, which has fewer parts to deal with and in addition, join the panel and funnel together with a frit seal instead of the pesky flanges. Such a tube would contain much less metal inside the bottle (perhaps reducing gas), eliminate the leaky flange areas, and also provide a slightly larger picture area (about 116 sq inch instead of 88).
