You might be right indeed. Electron tube it is, I think, in English. I'm not 
electrician either but to me at least in those older comics Helper's head 
looks very much like an electron tube.

>some stuff inside as well. Those things could be quite large, I think.

Last electron tube we still have in use is a television tube.
