Yes, I meant Ucesat.

I remember a very old article (it was at the time, when we were klimbing in
trees here in Czech - at least what concerns electronic) about digital
voltmeter, made from discrete components, roughly eqivalent of ICL7106, but
driving these red-orange vakuum digit displays. At that time there was
nothing close to FETs available to the poor engineers, so they used this
trick for switching analog signals. I do not have hands-on experience with
this, but you try out yourself.
