The NC10 is an electrostatically deflected CRT it is identical to the Army ACR2X and was later known as the CV959. The prototype was the 3220K.
The NC10 is a five inch tube with a maximum diameter of the bell of 127 mm.
The ACR2X is described as a low sensitivity version of the ACR1(CV1379) and was used in gun laying radar for anti-aircraft guns during the period 1939-45.
To achieve lower inductance in the deflection circuits all four deflection plates are brought out to side contacts.

The face plate is curved and not flat. The curve was required to prevent implosion. i.e. to maintain the glass under compression. Flat CRT face-plates came later with developments in material science.
The side clip bas. Standard 4mm plugs fit into the clips.

The five side contacts. The final anode, Y plates and finally the X plates on the right.

The end window envelope is 52 mm in diameter, and excluding the base pins is 485 mm tall.
